Fáilte for Martin as Cuba celebrates La Revolución
It may sound similar to the predicament facing his government back home but this was a proud and cheery welcome to Foreign Affairs Minister Micháel Martin, from his Cuban counterpart on the first day of his historic visit to Havana.
As Cubans celebrate their 50th anniversary of La Revolución, Mr Martin began his trip yesterday morning in the place where it all began — Revolution Square, the site of Fidel Castro’s rallying speech as new president in 1959.
