The Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, has said he has no problem with an all-party grouping coming together to lobby the case for the illegal Irish immigrants in the US.
The proposal was made by the Fine Gael leader, Enda Kenny.
Mr Ahern said much progress has been made on this issue, and the hope is that more can be achieved before summer given that there are mid-term elections in the US in November.
He said the challenge is to find a way of combining the Senate Bill and the Bremer Bill on illegal immigration.
