Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

I do not understand why the Deputy would ask a question pertaining to whether I support this US Bill. I support it, as do our diplomats, ambassadors, consulates, Government and Irish Americans. We are working through all of those avenues to achieve a positive conclusion to the matter. We will leave no stone unturned in assisting the Bill's development, taking into account that this must be an inclusive Bill as otherwise it would not work. There are 10 million undocumented people in the US, which highlights the challenges, complexities and difficulties. There is no comparison between the situations here and that in the Unites States vis-À-vis our undocumented people.
