His former UUP colleague on the council, Jack Rankin, described Mr Dolan as a “gentleman”.

He added: “Jackie conducted himself very well and he was very honest. He was a long-serving member who did a lot for the town and was very well-respected.”

DUP councillor James McCorkell said: “Jackie was a great Orangeman and unionist who never thought twice about telling it as it truly was.”
