Ireland currently has diplomatic relations with Cuba on a non-resident basis. The Irish Ambassador to Mexico is also accredited to Cuba. The opening of Irish Missions abroad is considered by the Government on an ongoing basis. Any expansion of our diplomatic network is considered and undertaken having regard to clear priorities. In this regard, there are no plans to change the status of our representation in Cuba at this time.
