Alleged Silence on Support for Rebel Groups
Barrett asks whether some Members have been unusually silent about Cuba and other countries supporting rebel groups. The Taoiseach does not give a clear answer before the Chair ends the questions and moves to priority questions.
I will deal with the Deputy in a moment. I am just wondering if the Deputy and his party are looking at events in eastern Europe and seeing how the particular philosophy which they espouse is being rejected en masse by the countries of eastern Europe.

Would the Taoiseach agree that there has been a peculiar silence in some parts of this House when allegations were made in relation to activities on the part of Cuba and indeed other eastern countries who were supporting rebel groups in various parts of the world?

The Chair has to dispose of five priority questions within a quarter of an hour as laid down by Standing Orders and that time has come.
