Donie Cassidy (Fianna Fail)

Senators McFadden, Walsh and Kelly expressed strong views on the undocumented Irish. As I stated in the House yesterday, Deputy Bertie Ahern, during all his years as Taoiseach, has been to the forefront in highlighting the matter with US Presidents at every available opportunity. All Ministers for Foreign Affairs, including the current one, Deputy Dermot Ahern, certainly have been to the forefront in this regard also. I have every confidence that all our Ministers will be doing their best on this very important issue.
