I reject that assertion from Deputy Adams. We have been very active over many years in dealing with the Administrations and members of the opposition in the United States. He is aware that I have had the privilege in recent years of being in Washington for St. Patrick's Day. It is not just about meeting the President but the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, the Irish caucus, members of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, the immigrant associations, the emigrant associations, the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, ILIR, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Irish diaspora and so many other elements of Irish United States business.
