60 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the plans, if any, he has to establish full diplomatic relations with Cuba. [18113/97]
Ireland's foreign service is small and the resources available for its expansion are limited. For this reason, we are not in a position at present to establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. However, the lack of formal diplomatic relations does not inhibit the maintenance and development of friendly contacts and relations with that country.
