Northern Irish politician; founder of the Social Democratic and Labour Party and joint winner of the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize
I wasn’t interested in politics in those days, but I was interested in helping people, and I got involved in the Foundation of the Credit Union movement. And, of all the things I’ve been doing, it’s the thing I’m proudest of because no movement has done more good for the people of Ireland, north and south, than the credit union movement.
