Government doing its best for illegal Irish

Thu, 30 Mar, 2006 - 01:00

We are in particular grateful to Foreign Affairs Minister Dermot Ahern, whose staff, including the Irish Abroad Unit, have travelled to the US several times this past year to lobby for the Kennedy McCain bill aimed at granting legal status to immigrants.

On March 16, Social Affairs Minister Seamus Brennan attended a briefing on immigrant matters in Boston and listened to the challenges facing the undocumented Irish.
