The welfare of undocumented Irish emigrants in the United States remains a priority for Government. In my virtual meeting with President Biden on 17 March, we discussed comprehensive immigration reform, including the specific issue of undocumented Irish people in the United States. President Biden has demonstrated his commitment to immigration issues, including possible pathways to citizenship in his Citizenship Act of 2021.
