The opportunity should also be taken to brief President Biden around the British amnesty legislation, if that has not happened by then. I hope it has been raised with the President. There is an opportunity to brief him on the issue. It is not every day that this happens, I believe 2011 was the last time we had a US President here in Ireland.

There is also the whole issue of the undocumented in America. This will be a key opportunity to try to push the issue to get a resolution for so many Irish people living in the United States of America, and to try to regularise their residency there.

Every opportunity should be taken when we have President Biden here. He is very proud of his Irish roots. If he does run again for the presidency hopefully we will see him get another term. God only knows what the situation will be if he does not. I dread to think. We should utilise this once in a lifetime opportunity to seize the momentum here on these key issues.
