Enda Kenny: The situation with regard to No. 12 has now been dealt with by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP, for a number of months.

Enda Kenny: I condemn them unreservedly in the context of immigrant people. We have 70 million people ourselves worldwide who claim Irish ancestry. Many of those were deported or left because of economic circumstances. Many left because of colonisation and the consequences of the Great Hunger. It is something very deep in the Irish. I commend again our naval personnel, who have taken from the waters...

Enda Kenny: The Deputy has raised quite a number of questions. As I said, I expressed a view that the potential diminution in J1 visas would be a serious blow to connections between Ireland and the United States and to the opportunity for so many young people to work legitimately in the US and avail of a wonderful experience. We have regular reports from the consulates in the US and the ambassador....

Enda Kenny: In any event, I believe this is going to be problematic, particularly for a country like Ireland. The nature of our traditional connection 50 or 60 years ago and before was that people left and never came back. This has changed now. I firmly believe that the J1 system has been important in keeping that connection alive in the modern sense with young people in university and throughout the...

Given what is happening there at the moment, where there is a degree of polarity between the two Houses and the two major parties, I do not see it happening. I might be wrong and I hope I am. President Obama made his executive...
