THE EMBARGO
REF: STATE 215870
Emboff, drawing on reftel points, spoke on October 22 to
First Secretary Sean O'Regan, Deputy Director for Human
Rights at the DFA. Though Cuba's human rights record remains
a concern for the Irish, if Cuba's language is approved in
the Third Committee, Ireland is likely to vote again for the
Resolution, as it has for the last 12 years. O'Regan said
that continued support for Cuba in Ireland comes from the
small, but vocal, pro-Cuban lobby, and the public's view that
Cuba is underdog David to the USG Goliath.
