Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

I do not want in any way to imply that we do not have sympathy for anyone who is incarcerated. That applies equally to those incarcerated in Guantanamo and prisoners of conscience held by the Cuban authorities. However, we have no standing with regard to the case referred to by the Deputy. As I said, I do not propose to raise the issue at EU or UN level.
