Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

We are prepared to stand up with regard to the effect on the general community. The Cuban position on human rights must be put right. Thankfully, some more reasonable soundings are coming from the replacement, for the time being at least, of the President of Cuba. Perhaps there will be more opportunity for the international community and the US to liaise with the Cuban Government in that respect. It remains to be seen.
