In response to their poor treatment, the women formed the textile workers section of the Irish Transport Workers Union and united to organise the Belfast Linen Strike of 1911. The women mill workers showed solidarity and courage and that courage, strength and faith is an inspiration to the women of today.

City Hall has many connections with the famous ocean liner Titanic. Viscount William Pirrie who was Lord Mayor in 1896-1897 just before City Hall’s construction, was also managing director of Harland & Wolff Shipyard. He is the man credited as having the idea for both ambitious builds. He used many of his skilled workmen in the fit-out of City Hall which is why the interiors today are considered an incredible insight into the finish of Titanic’s lounges and suites, the ship’s carving panelling being very similar. They played a significant role at home, raising awareness to support the democratic cause abroad.

The vair-along with the supporting wolf-is taken from the arms of Sir Arthur Chichester, the founder of Belfast as it exists today, who obtained the city's charter from James I in 1613.

The motto means "What return shall we make for so much?", and is a paraphrase of a verse from Psalm 116.

The symbols probably have their roots in seventeenth century Belfast as these are found on tokens used by merchants of that time – for example, the bell, the ship, the sea-horse and the chained wolf are all found on the money of Belfast merchants. It is probable that the arms were composed from the merchant’s signs or that the merchants themselves took parts of the arms for use on their coinage. The sea-horse and ship were almost certainly selected to indicate the emerging maritime importance of Belfast as a trading port. The wolf was probably taken as a compliment to Sir Arthur Chichester who was instrumental in the founding and expansion of Belfast in the early 1600s as wolves featured on his own coat of arms.
