Baird was born in County Donegal in the Irish Free State but moved with his family to Belfast at an early age. http meathpeacegroup.org events ?p 18 A pharmacist and political unionist Ireland unionist , Baird became the deputy leader of the Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party . He was elected at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 1973 for Fermanagh and South Tyrone Assembly constituency Fermanagh and South Tyrone , and won a seat in the same constituency on the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention . When William Craig politician William Craig , the leader of Vanguard, proposed forming a coalition government with the nationalist Ireland nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party , Baird led the majority of Vanguard in leaving to form the United Ulster Unionist Movement . Baird became the leader of the new grouping, which initially pursued a policy of uniting all unionist groups to form a new party. When this proved impossible, it instead constituted itself as the United Ulster Unionist Party UUUP , again with Baird as leader. He then became a key member of the United Unionist Action Council Baird stood for the UUUP in Fermanagh and South Tyrone UK Parliament constituency Fermanagh and South Tyrone at the 1979 UK general election , but won only 17 of the vote, taking fourth position in the poll.

Baird then confined his politics to the Orange Order , while building up his Baird s Chemists chain.
