Ireland’s deputy premier, centre left, and premier Simon Harris, centre right, were speaking in Omeath, Co Louth
He said that proof of improved relations was the Windsor Framework deal and the Narrow Water Bridge project. Speaking in Omeath at the announcement of the start of construction on the project, Mr Martin said it represented the aspirations of the Good Friday Agreement. “We certainly wouldn’t appreciate British politicians getting involved in our elections or giving their views, as some do from time to time,” Mr Harris said.
“Whoever the British people decide to elect to government and then ultimately as their prime minister, the Irish government will have close relations with them. I look forward to an early engagement with whoever the British prime minister is in July.”
