Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Deputy Healy Rae will be aware of the difficulties that have arisen between the US Senate and Congress on this matter. Senator Schumer made a proposal to legislate on a facility for Irish emigrants to the US and discussions are ongoing between political representatives. It is my intention to hold discussions with the Irish movement for immigration reform when I have an opportunity to travel to New York next week.
