Has the Taoiseach had contact with President Trump since his announcement of the restrictions on immigration? This is the weekend of the anniversary and commemoration of the Holocaust. I think the Taoiseach knows that the implementation of the Holocaust began with people in Nazi Germany being required to carry papers and passports carrying the word "Jude" - Jew. I was chairperson of an EU Council of Ministers dealing with development and humanitarian aid in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide. The basis of that genocide was a provision stating that people had to have their tribal affiliation set out on their documentation and passports. Has the Taoiseach or any of his senior civil servants had contact with the Trump Administration and does he support the view of the recently sacked US acting Attorney General that this is likely to be illegal under US law and the US Constitution and the US as we know and understand it?
