Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
116. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Taoiseach if he met any political representatives when he was in California regarding the undocumented Irish; if any progress was made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25226/14]
View answerI had one bilateral political meeting during my visit to California, with Governor Jerry Brown. I discussed the issue of the undocumented and the need for immigration reform with the Governor, who is a strong champion of immigration reform and has introduced a number of progressive legislative Bills at State level in California aimed at improving conditions for the undocumented.
Mayor Ed Lee was present when I referred to the issue at a community event in San Francisco.
