The Emerald Isle Immigration Center<\/strong> was one of several organizations in the city honored by a visit last week from members of the Oireachtas <\/strong>(Irish legislature), who joined them for conversation and a light meal at their Bronx office. They discussed EIIC\u2019s overall legal and social services work, the upcoming capital renovation at the Bronx location, and issues facing undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you all next week when I am Out&About again\u2026 <\/p>\n
