Undocumented Irish in the USA
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-27
============================================================

Michael Lowry (IND), Tipperary

I ask the outcome of recent discussions the Tánaiste has had with United States authorities and President Biden during his recent visit to Ireland. Did the Tánaiste have the opportunity to raise the need to regularise the status of the undocumented Irish in the United States and the need for the appropriate visa and citizenship programmes to be put in place to protect them?
Will the Tánaiste consider appointing an Irish Government representative who would have sole responsibility for dealing with this issue?
