Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Adams raised a number of points. I am not going to become involved in any controversy involving him and the party whose Deputies are seated to his left.

I will raise the issue of the undocumented Irish with Republican leaders when I return to the United States. Ambassador O'Malley understands the position of illegal Irish immigrants in the US. He also understands perfectly that for Irish people the ability to travel home and back to the United States while their undocumented status is changed is of critical importance. We will continue to press the White House in respect of this matter.

Deputy Higgins referred to tax.

We did abolish the concepts of stateless companies and the double Irish. There were perceptions of Ireland being a tax haven. These perceptions are completely unfounded. Clarity now exists for the period to 2020.

I did not know of anything to do the activities of the Garda in so far as a Member of the House is concerned. It is an entirely independent operational matter for the Garda.
