This Week on Hibernian Radio Paddy Houlihan welcomes back Bill Donnelly, retired Chicago Police Detective and longtime member of the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums. Bill takes us inside his decades of service, sharing stories of undercover work, high-stakes busts, and the challenges of tracking down elusive witnesses for the State’s Attorney’s Office. He reflects on his family’s proud law enforcement legacy, the camaraderie that defined his years on the force, and the importance of having a plan for life after retirement. Beyond policing, Bill remains deeply engaged in the community whether it’s co-chairing the Father Perez Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll Drive or performing with the Pipes and Drums at major upcoming events, including Gaelic Park Irish Fest (August 24) and the Mike Flisk Memorial Car Show (September 6). Filled with humor, heartfelt memories, and a deep sense of service, this episode shines a light on a life dedicated to both duty and community. Tune in for an hour of stories, music, and community spirit!
