Galway Bay fm newsroom – City native Billy Lawless will make his maiden speech in the Seanad today.
The advocate for Irish Immigrants and Chicago-based businessman was nominated to the Seanad by Taoiseach Enda Kenny in May.
Senator Lawless has returned to Ireland to make his maiden speech – which will focus on securing rights for the ‘undocumented Irish’ in the US.
Speaking to Keith Finnegan, he says the Irish government is working to help those who can’t even return home for a family member’s funeral.
