I support my colleague, Senator Barrett in welcoming the appointment of the new US ambassador, and we look forward to his playing his role in the continued good work being done on the peace process in Northern Ireland. We would all seek to work with him to make progress on the undocumented Irish in America and we will do what we can there. I also back the issue of the nurses' registration fee being raised from €100 to €150, a very serious issue which would be dealt with. I have had contacts from a number of people who work in the nursing profession and it is very serious to increase their registration charge.
