The delegation will be led by Bay of Pigs survivor Col Victor Dreke Cruz and veteran Cuban broadcaster Reinaldo Taladrid, and will be accompanied by the Cuban ambassador to Ireland, Teresita Trujillo.

The delegation will be received by the Lord Mayor at City Hall at 3pm and will meet with the Sinn Féin council team. They will address a seminar being organised by the party at UCC on the Cuban Revolution and the Bay of Pigs Invasion at 4pm.
