From YouTube: Visit with Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny
Description
Mayor Walsh meets with Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny, the head of government of Ireland, as part of his visit to the United States.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today
and
I'm
thrilled
to
have
the
tea
shop
here
in
Boston
City
Hall.
Here,
a
man
from
from
County
Mayo
next
door
to
my
parents,
County
in
Ireland
he's
been
a
great
leader
in
Ireland
and
a
good
friend
here
and
I
had
the
great
honor
of
having
another
conversation.
We
spoke
last
time
we
spoke
together
face-to-face.
We
were
in
Croke
Park
in
Dublin,
kilkenny,
verse
tip
and
they
all
ireland
final,
the
replay
match.
B
So
it
was
great,
but
it's
great
to
be
here
again
to
see
invite
the
teachers
care
and
de
Kenny
to
Boston,
obviously
Boston
and
on
Islands
have
deep
bonds,
bonds
that
go
back
not
just
with
immigration,
but
with
economic
development
will
culture
and
for
many
of
us
to
be
a
family
ties
back
and
forth.
This
cultural
bond
that
we
built
in
this
country,
in
the
turn
of
the
19th
century
into
the
20th
century,
certainly
has
turned
into
an
economic
relationship
over
the
last
hundred
100
plus
years.
Ireland
is
the
u.s.
B
is
six
largest
source
of
foreign
investment,
and
also
Irish
companies
employ
217,000
Americans.
So
when
you
think
about
the
relationship
between
Ireland
and
in
Boston,
an
eye
on
the
united
states,
america,
it's
not
a
one-way,
it's
a
two-way
relationship
and
something
that's
very
important
to
kind
of,
strengthen
and
show
that
we
truly
are
a
global
country,
America
and
a
global
country
Island,
and
that
we
have
a
global
economy
that
we're
moving
forward.
U.S.
is
Ireland's
top
export
destination.
We
often
hear
about
the
US
tech
companies
in
Ireland
in
Boston.
B
B
Primark
is
those
of
you
know
it's
our
ryans
in
pennies,
I
should
say
in
ireland
and
it
filled,
it
fills
a
hole
in
downtown
crossing
and
if
I
believe
it's
one
of
the
top
grossing
companies
that
one
of
the
top
grossing
spots
that
Primark
has
now
in
the
world
right
here
in
Boston,
we
also
have
companies
from
Dublin.
We
have
go
walk
tech,
medical
company,
we
have
radix
Biosciences
global
leader
and
health
care
diagnostic.
B
We
have
helped
beacon,
Dublin's
digital
health,
firm,
they're,
cutting
a
ribbon
in
South
Boston
this
thursday,
and
we
have
other
companies
just
just
a
few
other
companies
here.
So
it's
exciting
to
see
the
conversation
as
we're
moving
here.
One
of
those
conversations
we
had
inside
with
it
with
the
teacher
was
we
talked
about
the
opportunity
to
him
to
be
able
to
go
to
Washington
and
talk
to
the
president
about
the
concerns
of
immigration.
B
The
concerns
immigration
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
conservative
gration
I
on
the
concerns
of
immigration,
the
world
so
I
commend
him
for
making
this
journey.
I
commend
him
for
stopping
in
Boston
and
stopping
in
other
seed
cities,
united
states,
america,
and
I
wish
them
all
the
luck
when
it
when
he
goes
down
to
Washington,
and
we
want
to
behalf
of
both
of
us,
want
to
wish
everyone
a
very
happy
st.
Patrick's
week
in
Boston
I
know
ireland's
is
in
Patrick's
Day.
B
C
Well,
obviously,
very
glad
to
be
here
in
Boston
as
part
of
this
trip
to
the
United
States
in
st.
Patrick's
week.
It
is
true
that
we
spoke
last
in
face-to-face
in
in
croke
park
at
the
all.
Our
final
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
present
the
mayor
here
with
a
with
an
authentic
Irish
holy.
She
signed
by
myself
with
his
name
ossian
Branagh,
and
we
put
him
at
number
ace
playing
midfield.
C
Doing
superb
job
here
is
mere
bas
was
going
both
in
terms
of
population
in
terms
of
economic
strength,
we're
meeting
a
number
of
companies
later
on
in
the
day
who
are
backed
by
Enterprise
Ireland,
who
want
to
do
collaborations
in
innovative
workin
research
work
here
in
Boston,
and
we
see
that
growing
in
the
time
ahead.
Both
Massachusetts
in
Boston
has
now
become
synonymous
with
their
expertise,
competence
and
economic
growth
and
population
growth,
which
is
very
important.
C
Obviously,
the
mirror
and
I
agree
to
each
other
in
Irish
is
his
Irish,
is
fluent
and
and
he's
very
proud
of
us
very
proud
of
his
roots
in
Connemara
and
Ross
smoke,
and
goes
back
to
those
sense
of
values
from
families
before
him.
With
nothing
at
all,
they
came
here
to
America
as
a
land
of
land
receiving
immigrants
from
all
over
the
world
and
marty
was
she
proven
his
path
to
be
one
of
commitment
and
value
in
principle.
C
So
we
discussed
the
the
opportunity
of
having
the
the
conversations
with
the
President,
the
Vice
President
speaker,
Ryan
and
others
from
both
Democratic
and
Republican
parties
and
Capitol
Hill
and
I.
Thank
the
mayor
for
his
for
his
leadership
here
in
Boston.
Broad
surfers
understanding
that,
in
terms
of
the
Irish
diaspora,
as
this
is
an
important
opportunity
to
be
able
to
set
out
a
shower
our
sense
of
sets
of
value
in
the
contribution
that
the
Irish
have
made
are
making
and
will
continue
to
make
a
to
the
United
States.
C
We
had
the
same
Marty
in
Pennsylvania
and
in
in
in
Philadelphia
over
the
last
two
days
within
massive
turn
of
Irish
people,
proud
of
her
heritage
and
proud
to
want
to
live
and
continue
to
work
for
the
for
the
good
of
the
families
and
the
area
that
they
live
in
and
to
the
United
States
in
general.
So
good
questions
you
asked
individually
thank.
B
D
Are
signing
the
muffins
and
you
previously
didn't
on
the
crystal
of
pledges
confiscate
in
the
greater
cosmic
according
on
American
and
depend
in
large
Boston
Atlantic
City
to
protect
a
different
are
generally
and
harshness
by
the
revised
executive
orders
at
digitas,
we
could
be
filled
up
with
her
main
concern.
No.
B
Not
at
all
have
the
same
concerns.
The
executive
order
was
a
very
minor
change.
One
country
is
taken
off
their.
The
fears
in
the
city
still
exist,
the
painting
of
immigrants
as
criminals,
the
painting
at
Muslims
as
terrorists,
is
still
out
there
and
it
has
not
softened
at
all
and
I've
crawled
on.
We
actually
spoke
about
it
about
called
on
Congress
to
take
a
proper
immigration
reform
package
and
deal
with
the
issue
of
immigration,
rather
than
put
fear
throughout
the
throughout
the
cities
and
people
in
this
country.
E
Now
might
be
calculated
in
a
very
expected
for
the
bad
english
bugle
types
offered
salvation
here.
Policy
and
on
TV
speaking
portation
rate,
and
here
in
businesses
are
a
lot
of
Irish
immigrants.
Legal
and
physical.
Can
you
say
anything:
maybe
a
loopy
experience
that
Irish
people
in
Boston
might
have
in
common
air.
B
It's
hard
to
do
that
other
than
the
fact
that
we
are
a
sanctuary
city
in
the
sense
of
we
have
the
trust
act
and
our
Police
Department
will
not
be
will
not
be
deputy,
decides
to
do
the
work
of
the
federal
authorities.
I
would
love
to
sit,
stand
here
and
say
that,
and
hopefully
the
T
show
will
be
able
to
help.
B
A
little
bit
here
is
be
able
to
stay,
have
a
conversation
with
the
president
administration
and
the
leadership
of
the
Republican
Party
about
how
do
we
come
up
with
a
solution
rather
than
rather
than
accusing
folks
of
being
illegal
or
being
criminals
and
I?
Think
that
that's
one
that
I
can't
stand
here
today
and
say
I'm
feel
comfortable
where
we
are
as
a
country
yet
hoping
that
at
some
point
we'll
be
able
to
move
to
that
point.
But
not
today.
F
B
Me
just
real
quickly
answer
the
first
part
of
the
question:
I'm
a
proud
son
of
Irish
immigrants,
but
I
would
not
be
supportive
of
rules
and
regulations
that
just
benefit
people
that
are
undocumented
irish.
We
need
a
comprehensive
piece
of
legislation
that
we
need
some,
some
clarity
for
all
immigrants,
all
undocumented
immigrants.
You
know
when
you
think
of
boston.
We
are
a
a
multi-cultural
city
that
is
doing
very
well
in
the
scope
of
the
economy
and
all
the
indications
shows
is
doing
well.
C
C
If
either
don't
agree
with
black
advance
on
immigrants
coming
to
to
any
country,
clearly,
Ireland's
had
a
very
long
engagement
with
the
United
States
over
the
last
200
years,
and
the
contribution
made
by
Irish
immigrants
and
there's
and
under
their
descendants,
speaks
for
itself.
Their
own
I've
discussed
this
already,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
both
agree
at
that.
In
respect
of
of
the
situation
that
you
have
now
with
11
million
undocumented
people
living
in
the
United
States.
That's
what
is
needed
here
is
a
pathway
to
reform.
C
We've
discussed
how
that
might
actually
apply
so
in
the
context
of
the
context
of
speaking
to
them
to
the
President
and
others
in
Washington.
But
I
do
want
to
say
is
that
we've
had
that
long
contribution?
We
are
continuing
to
make
that
contribution
and
we
want
to.
We
want
for
those
who
are
in
this
country
who
have
made
their
decision
to
live
in
America,
to
work
for
America
to
raise
their
families
in
America
that
we
need
an
opportunity
for
a
path
legitimization
here,
but
it's
not
just
about
the
Irish.
C
What
its
potential
is,
what
its
potential
to
engage
with
the
united
states
is
in
a
situation
where
Europe
has
created
over
almost
four
and
a
half
million
new
jobs
in
the
last
three
years,
and
that
you
can
work
with
the
United
States
for
the
benefit
of
the
two
best
developed
regions
and
the
planners
and
set
down
your
trade
opportunities
in
benefits
on
both
sides
of
the
Atlantic.
So
attentive,
speak
in
general
terms
to
the
to
the
president
and
people
in
Washington
about
that.
C
I
also
make
the
point
that
yesterday
marty
down
in
in
philadelphia
in
front
of
the
Magnificent
irish
memorial
to
the
famine
that
we
announced
a
government
decision
to
extend
the
right
to
add
the
Irish
diaspora
to
vote
in
presidential
elections
from
2025
one
more
time
to
make
the
arrangements
for
that,
which
I
think
is
a
very
significant
statement.
Indeed
about
the
way
we
we
we
value.
What
the
Irish
have
done
and
are
doing
in
so
many
countries
around
the
world
and
work
on
that,
so,
in
general
terms,
expect
to
speak
to
the
president.
C
Vice
president
Speaker
of
the
House
and
as
I
say,
thank
that
the
mirror
for
is
supporting
this
because
it
it
is
not
about
the
teacher
car,
the
president.
It's
about
the
officers
and
the
correlation
between
the
two
countries.
We
have
made
a
huge
contribution
to
the
United
States.
Here's
a
living
example
of
us
there's
so
many
others
who
want
to
do
the
same
and
release
that
burden
off
their
shoulders
to
give
off
their
best
to
the
American
Society,
to
the
American
economy
and
to
the
country
that,
if
chosen
to
live
in.
A
What
would
follow
yeah
all
with
the
type
of
policy
choices
of
the
president,
has
enunciated
two
executive
orders.
Are
you
concerned
that
this
is
an
effect
creating
a
divide-and-conquer-type
situation
among
a
month?
Undocumented
immigrant?
That's
the
first
question
for
a
second
story.
Could
you
also
comment
on
breakfast
and
its
impact
on
the
border?
Northern
ireland
in
ireland
in
regard
to
article
50?
What
that
might
produce
well.
C
In
the
first
place,
tem,
the
decision
taken
by
the
by
the
electrician
in
the
united
states
has
resulted
in
a
new
administration
taking
office,
and
president
Trump
is
the
president
of
the
united
states.
So
obviously,
within
his
within
his
powers,
there
are
certain
areas
that
he
that
he
has
executive
authority
on
not
on
every
issue.
Obviously,
the
courts
determine
the
compliance
of
the
Constitution
are
not,
as
is
the
case
in
my
own
country.
C
There
are
11
million
people
in
the
United
States
who
are
who
have
who
have
not
required
paperwork
or
documentation.
That's
required
here.
Respective
of
the
border.
Bridges,
as
you
know,
is
the
term
given
to
the
decision
of
the
United
Kingdom
that
is
Northern
Ireland
Scotland
England
Wales
to
leave
the
European
Union
bridges
is
triggered
by
the
Prime
Minister.
Writing
a
formal
letter
to
the
President
of
the
European
Council,
saying
that
the
United
Kingdom
wishes
to
leave
at
the
European
Union.
When
that
article
was
written,
nobody
ever
expected
that
anybody
would
leave.
C
The
in
idea
would
leave
the
European
Union,
but
that's
a
case.
So
since
nineteen
twenty-two
we've
had
a
situation,
you've
had
a
border
in
Ireland
when
the
other
Kingdom
leave
the
only
internal
land
border
in
the
european
union
will
be
between
Dundalk
and
dairy.
We
had
a
situation
of
her
from
very
many
years.
You
had
what
you
call
a
hard
border
with
customs
posts
on
the
main
crossings
and
during
the
times
of
the
troubles
that
all
the
other
roads
were
blown
up
and
impassable.
We
are
not
going
back
to
that
situation.
C
The
British
governments
have
agreed
with
the
Irish
government
that
we
will
not
have
a
return
to
a
hard
border.
At
the
moment,
if
you
drive
from
Dundalk
teen
urea
from
Dublin
to
Belfast,
you
cross
a
seamless
border,
the
peace
process
in
Northern
Ireland.
It's
important
you
should
understand.
This
is
the
consequence
of
a
great
deal
of
discussion
and
and
and
negotiation
over
many
years
to
get
rid
of
a
situation
where
you
had
troubles.
3,000
people
blown
up,
murdered,
disappeared,
killed
and
whatever.
C
So
now
you
have
a
seamless
border
and
that's
guaranteed
by
what
we
call
the
Good
Friday
Agreement
voted
on
by
people
in
the
north
and
in
the
south
in
1998.
That
agreement
is
backed
by
Europe.
That
agreement
is
backed
by
America
George
Mitchell
was
he
was
the
the
assigned
person,
the
United
States,
who
did
all
those
negotiations,
so
it's
enlarged
internationally
and
internationally
binding
with
the
United
Nations.
We
do
not
want
anything
to
happen
to
that
peace
process.
C
The
European
leaders,
who
also
practice
in
the
monetary
terms,
as
well
as
everything
else,
do
not
want
anything
to
happen
to
her
either
the
British
government,
the
Prime
Minister
and
myself
have
agreed
that
this
is
a
political
challenge
to
political
challenge
so
that,
while
Northern
Ireland's
as
voting
as
part
of
the
United
Kingdom,
the
aggregate
vote
is
to
leave.
We
are
not
having
a
return
to
a
hard
border.
C
We
are
not
having
customs
posts
on
that
border,
because
the
the
understanding
clearly
is
that
it
brought
with
it
sectarian
violence
in
the
past,
and
we
don't
want
that
in
the
future.
That's
the
politics
and
that
would
lead
any
other
issues
of
both
technology
or
digital
capacity
or
whatever
else.
The
negotiations
haven't
actually
started.
Yes,
because
the
article
50
hasn't
been
triggered.
That
may
happen
in
the
next
week
or
10
days.
It's
a
matter
for
the
British
government.
C
There's
a
discussion
in
the
House
of
Commons
again
today,
arising
from
the
last
vote
in
the
House
of
Lords.
So
irrespective
of
those
discussions,
article
50
will
be
triggered
before
the
end
of
March.
The
European
Union
will
return
to
that
and
what
I
want
is
that
in
the
negotiated
outcome
