Vol. 457 No. 7
74 Mr. Gregory asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs when the vote on the renewal of the trade embargo on Cuba will take place; the way in which the government will vote on the issue; and the reason Ireland has abstained on this vote in the past in view of the appalling impact the vote is having on the people of Cuba. [16551/95]
75 Mr. Ellis asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the action, if any, he proposes to take with the United Nations to have the sanctions against Cuba lifted. [15961/95]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 74 and 75 together.
Ireland voted in favour of the resolution calling for an end to the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba in the vote which was taken on 2 November 1995 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
