About this event
As part of their new exhibition, “Looking Back to Look Forward,” EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is proud to host notable speakers who have lived experience of economic migration from Ireland to Britain.

Bartley Duggan: interviewee for the exhibit and former labourer working for Irish subcontractors.
Mick Lynch: General Secretary of the RMT transport union, born in London to Irish parents, appeared on the Late Late Show.
John Fleming: Director of “Guests of Another Nation,” musician, and author.
