We welcomed two weeks ago a member of the Cuban Parliament, Fernando González Llor, who was one of the Cuban five. He attended the launch of the Irish-Cuban parliamentary friendship grouping and met the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence. There are issues in relation to Cuba and the agreement signed with the EU. Can Ireland be a voice for progressing that further? I ask also about our own Irish-Cuban relations, which I acknowledge is a completely different matter. However, there is a European aspect to this.
