Mary Fitzpatrick (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

Indeed, since 1800 more than 10 million Irish people have emigrated. I, therefore, welcome the decision that was taken by the Government to introduce a programme in January to regularise the undocumented migrants in this country. This is a welcome and important decision. It will give an opportunity to people who live in our communities or work in our shops, restaurants and care facilities, or deliver stuff to our doors to come out of the shadows, hold their heads up high and take part as full citizens in society.
