Undocumented Irish - Ahern’s real agenda is Irish in US

THE Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform (ILIR) held a major rally in the Bronx area of New York city last Friday to highlight the plight of undocumented Irish immigrants.

This was not about securing extra rights for Irish people to immigrate to the United States, but about the 25,000 Irish people who have been living there for years without proper documentation.

These people have settled in the United States, as did millions of Irish people during the past two centuries.
