US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1610

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

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.
