Last week the Taoiseach promised legislation to amend the Constitution to give Irish citizens living outside the State the right to vote in presidential elections. In the same week he lobbied the US Administration for immigration reform for the undocumented Irish. While he was in the United States, the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland held a rally in Dublin calling for the same treatment for the approximately 26,000 undocumented migrants living in this State. The Taoiseach's case to the US Administration would surely be stronger if he practised at home what he preached while abroad. Will he bring forward legislation that will provide undocumented migrants living in this State with an opportunity to regularise their status?
