Denis Bradley will be talking about his memoir, Peace Comes Dropping Slow: My Life in the Troubles
Culture Club and Roe River Books will welcome Denis Bradley to Dundalk for an ‘in conversation’ event in Roe River Books on Thursday February 13th at 7.00pm. He will be talking about his memoir, Peace Comes Dropping Slow: My Life in the Troubles.
In March 1993 Martin McGuinness and Gerry Kelly held a covert meeting with a British Intelligence agent codenamed ‘Fred’, one that would be a vital step on the road to peace in Northern Ireland. This crucial encounter was arranged by a secret ‘backchannel’ made up of three determined men, one of whom was Denis Bradley.
This compelling memoir tells the story of his crucial work with the backchannel, his tireless efforts to combat addiction and homelessness in his adopted community, his decision to leave the priesthood, and the challenges of his role in the new Policing Board set up in 2001. Once played out in the shadows, Denis Bradley’s pivotal part in Northern Ireland’s peace process is finally illuminated.
