Davy Adams

Davy Adams is someone who turned his life around 180; he was a paramilitary insider at the height of the conflict who went on to help make peace here and then travel to war torn parts of the globe as an impassioned peace advocate. Our conversation begins with honest reflection on why Davy joined the UDA and his great regret over that. He provides insights into the building of the loyalist ceasefire and his involvement in the 1998 peace negotiations, before he stepped away entirely to work for international aid agency Goal; a role that took him all over the world, shaping and reshaping him. He’s a fascinating character with a refreshing authenticity about his past and a heart for reconciliation, integration and inclusivity.
