Adair became Brigadier in West Belfast in 1993 and, according to RUC Special Branch reports into their activity, the Brigade became much more active in drug dealing after this, with Millar named as one of 26 main dealers active in the area in 1995 [REF].
Adair began to feud with the rest of the UDA in 2002 and on 20 September of that year Adair was summoned to a meeting of the Inner Council, the name given to the six brigadiers, in Belfast's Sandy Row.
