[edit]

The constituency was a predominantlyUnionist area, with some Labour support. In the 1918 electionSinn Féin came third.

First Dáil

[edit]

After the 1918 election, Sinn Féin invited all thoseelected for constituencies in Ireland to sit asTDs inDáil Éireann rather than in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.^[2] All those elected for Irish constituencies were included in the roll of the Dáil but only those elected for Sinn Féin sat in theFirst Dáil.^[3] In May 1921, the Dáil passed a resolution declaring thatelections to the House of Commons of Northern Ireland and the House of Commons of Southern Ireland would be used as the election for theSecond Dáil and that the First Dáil would be dissolved on the assembly of the new body.^[4] The area of Belfast Cromac was then represented in the Dáil by the four-seat constituency ofBelfast South, which also returned no representatives for Sinn Féin.
