Eamon Gilmore
Ceist:8 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the progress, if any, made with regard to the Government's stated objective of seeking an end to the US economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba; if Ireland will consider the establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, even on a non-residential basis, in view of the generally improving relations between it and many other countries; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
