Being in the Room

from Inspired to Act Hosted by Thrive Ireland

Dr John Kyle has had 3 intertwined careers, as a GP, as a church leader, and as a local councillor. Determined to make a difference for peace and reconciliation, he made a choice to join a party which raised a lot of eyebrows. He joined the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP), which had links with the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), and served with them on Belfast City Council for well over a decade. But as Diane and Will discover, there's much more to John's story than that... Tell us what you think! Produced for Thrive Ireland In association with The Northern Ireland Community Relations Council
