Joseph Addis Coggle (November 1930 - August 2012) was a Northern Irish Ulster Loyalist politician who was High Sheriff of Belfast between 1991 to 1992, and 1995 to 1996, respectively. [2] He served on Belfast City Council from 1981 until 1997, latterly for the Court DEA.
Background
As a member of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Coggle was elected to Belfast City Council in 1981 for the Belfast Area G district. [3]
By 1985, he had resigned from the DUP, and was instead re-elected as an independent unionist for the new Court district.[4]
In 1986, Coggle was seen attending the funeral of murdered Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) commander, John Bingham.[5] He described Bingham as “the best” in a Belfast Telegraph obituary.[6]
He was defeated by the Ulster Democratic Party’s Frank McCoubrey at the 1997 local elections. [7]
