Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

Did the Minister have substantive discussions on the position of the out of status Irish in the United States? With regard to the conclusions of the Farmleigh conference, which I attended, has there been a follow through on the proposals for a space at Silicon Valley for young Irish entrepreneurs? In addition, there is the issue of niche marketing and identifying the diaspora across different parts of the United States. Is it proposed to publish an update on the contacts that were made in regard to the Farmleigh conclusions?
