W . F . McCoy William Frederick McCoy ( generally known by his initials ) ( 1886 – 4 December 1976 ) was an Ulster Unionist member of the Parliament of Northern Ireland for South Tyrone who went on to become an early supporter of Ulster nationalism . Born in Fivemiletown , County Tyrone , McCoy was educated at Clones High School and Trinity College , Dublin , where he studied law . After serving in the British Army during World War I McCoy became a barrister in 1920 and held a number of leading legal positions in Northern Ireland including Crown Prosecutor for County Fermanagh ( from 1926 ) , Resident Magistrate for Belfast ( 1937 – 1943 ) and Senior Crown Prosecutor for Belfast ( 1949 – 1967 ) . Initially elected to the Parliament in a by - election on 12 April 1945 ( following the death of Rowley Elliott the previous year ) , McCoy held the seat for the Ulster Unionists until his retirement in 1965 . Whilst at first his political viewpoints were fairly typical of Unionism at the time , McCoy began to doubt how far the Union was safeguarded by the existing status of Northern Ireland as it was entirely determined by the United Kingdom , whom , he felt , could as easily vote it out of existence as retain it . As a result McCoy called for Northern Ireland to be governed as a Dominion of Britain along the lines of Australia and Canada , with the monarch retained as Head of State , but with the Northern Ireland Parliament otherwise free to govern . McCoy ' s ideas were generally rejected by the Unionist establishment , who were generally happy with the way things were , and he was sidelined , although he did serve as Speaker of the Parliament in 1956 during a brief period when the long - term Speaker Sir Norman Stronge was forced to step aside . An office Stronge held was found to disqualify him , but he resigned it and a Bill was rushed through Parliament to indemnify him . McCoy stepped down from the Northern Ireland House of Commons in 1965 , when his seat was won by John Taylor . McCoy continued to write in support of his Dominion plans until his death in 1976 .
