From the Shankill to the Shop Floor: Eileen Weir on Peace, Poverty and Power
In this powerful episode of Policy 360 Unplugged, Ellen Finlay sits down with Eileen Weir—peacebuilder, trade unionist, and proud voice from the Shankill Road.
With honesty, humour, and deep insight, Eileen reflects on her journey from joining the UDA welfare arm as a teenager to becoming a champion for women’s rights and cross-community dialogue.
She shares untold stories of grassroots activism, the challenges of navigating divided communities, and her unwavering belief in investing in people, not just projects.
This is a conversation about conflict, class, and community—and the women who hold it all together.
