Boston memorial to Connemara man who helped Irish get visas

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Work began this week in Boston on a Memorial Park in honour of a Connemara man who was a legend amongst the Irish in Boston. Mike Joyce, who died 25 years ago this year, was credited with playing a major role in bringing about the system of “Donnelly Visas” which benefitted thousands of Irish people who wanted legal status in the United States.
