US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN30

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.

(C)  On January 11, POL/ECON Chief delivered reftel demarche 
to Margaret Stanley, Americas desk officer, and emphasized 
steps Ireland can take even though it does not have an 
embassy in Cuba, such as inviting dissidents to Europe and 
supporting their work in Cuba, supporting an EU visa ban 
regime targetting human rights abusers, and raising concerns 
with the Cuban mission in Ireland.  Stanley said that Ireland 
is concerned about the human rights situation in Cuba.  The 
Director for Latin America regularly meets with the Cuban DCM 
(the Cuban ambassador is resident in London), and recently 
called him in to urge that all dissidents be released from 
prison. Stanley is circulating U.S. ideas around DFA as well 
as with the Irish embassy in Mexico, which covers Cuba, and 
will touch base following GOI review.
