50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants in at 'forefront' of Government’s mind

The 50,000 undocumented Irish immigrants in America are at the “forefront” of the Government’s mind, amid changing US policy.

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan, said members of the Government, diplomats, and other representatives are “working hard to keep abreast of developments in Washington and their implications for Ireland”.

“In this, the situation of the undocumented has been to the forefront of our thinking and I know our embassy in Washington DC, and consulates across the US, have been in ongoing contact with many of you,” he said.
