President Michael D Higgins is expected to sign a book of condolence at the Cuban Embassy on Pearse Street this morning.
There have been huge demands for President Higgins to apologise for remarks he made in a statement following the death of Fidel Castro.
The statement included a description of the former Cuban President as a “giant among global leaders”.
Mr Higgins’ office yesterday stated that any implication that the statement neglected human rights concerns was “unwarranted”.
A book of condolence will be opened in the Mansion House in Dublin today and tomorrow for former Cuban president Fidel Castro.
