One of the country’s newest Senators, a city native, has rubbished claims of cronyism linked to his appointment to the Seanad.
A newspaper report yesterday suggested Freeman of Galway, Billy Lawless was given the job by the Taoiseach in return for helping Enda Kenny’s daughter, Aoibhinn, secure a J1 student job in the US.
Senator Lawless has lived and worked in Chicago for many years and says it’s perfectly acceptable to help Irish students. He has rejected the claims.
