400 years of Presbyterians in Killyleagh

That this House notes the upcoming celebrations by the Kirk Session to note 400 years of Presbyterianism in Killyleagh; highlights the history of the congregations in Killyleagh established in 1622 when the Rev. John Boyle became one of the first eight Presbyterian Ministers in Ireland; further notes that the famous Black Man statue in Belfast was erected in tribute to one of Killyleagh's famous sons, Rev. Henry Cooke, who served from 1812 to 1829; and wishes them every success in this celebratory year in all the events that will take place in that thriving community.
