David Blevins grew up in Northern Ireland during the religious conflict and will share his experience as the Ireland correspondent for Sky News for 15 years. He reported the brokering of the historic Good Friday Agreement and was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award for his coverage of the 1998 Omagh bombing, in which 29 people were killed.
