James Armour

[1] The following year, at a specially-convened General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Armour moved a pro-home rule amendment.

[1] He was politically outspoken in support of both the Tenant Right movement and Home Rule,[2] and of the controversial proposal for a Catholic university.

Armour was confident that a Dublin parliament would help boost the Irish economy and would promote reconciliation between Protestants and Roman Catholics.

Jack White, Roger Casement and Armour organised a public meeting in Ballymoney on 24 October 1913 to build support for Home Rule amongst the local Protestant population, but had little success.

[8] Armour served on the Senate of Queen's University, Belfast, where he favoured the teaching of the Irish language and scholastic philosophy.
