Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Important legislation is going through not this House but another House in America with regard to Irish illegals. Will the Tánaiste ensure the Government makes whatever diplomatic interventions can be made? I hope the Government will try to lobby in the next few weeks because this is the last chance for Irish illegals.

I too wish Munster well. I congratulate the Mayo team which won the under-21 all-Ireland for the first time in 23 years. It is the beginning of many things to come this year.
