Billy Lawless until earlier this year was a serving Irish Senator for the Diaspora, nominated by the Taoiseach. Billy has an absolutely astounding life story and career, not only as a successful businessman but in his advocacy and representation of immigrants abroad. Based in Chicago since 1998, hear how he has used his platform to advocate for the rights of the immigrant population. Meeting Barack Obama as a young man running for Senate. As a Senator, Billy not only advocated for the Diaspora globally but also for those returning home and facing challenges in doing so. This interview had a profound effect on me, I believe we could all be doing more to be welcoming and supportive of those coming to build a better life for themselves.
