I absolutely agree. We are trying to increase our engagement in that region in general. I was in the Caribbean recently for a meeting of foreign affairs Ministers. Obviously our focus on opening new embassies and consulates spreads across the globe. The Tánaiste is keen to focus on that region in opening a new consulate or embassy. The more engagement we have, the more people we have on the ground, then obviously the more connectivity and communication giving greater opportunity to raise it in terms of the US challenges and in particular the Helms-Burton Act.
