Apart from those business-type accounts, there was also a personal account recently of an Irish couple who were told they could not transfer money from one branch of Bank of Ireland to another because the word "Cuba" was in the transfer. There are implications here. What about our democracy? We have a right to have a bank account and to use whatever words we like in that context. Is the Minister expecting a positive outcome from the answer he gave me? I would also like to know whether there are any plans for an official visit from our Government to Cuba. Alternatively, an official invitation might be extended to the Cuban Government to visit Ireland in the near future.
