I am not aware, nor has my Department been informed that a member of the Oireachtas has sought to visit the so-called 'Miami 5' in U.S. prisons. Any request for a visit to one or more of these individuals of Cuban nationality, convicted in the United States, is a matter for the US authorities. The Government has no standing in the matter.
