The Taoiseach “warmly congratulated” Sir Keir on his appointment
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Irish premier Simon Harris have committed to reset and strengthen Anglo-Irish relations “with urgency and ambition”.
Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly spoke by phone with Sir Keir on Friday where they congratulated him. “I will continue to press the British government on the things that matter most people, delivering for public services and all our communities as we engage in the days ahead.”
Ireland’s deputy premier Micheal Martin said the Anglo-Irish relationship was both rich and important, after speaking with the newly appointed British Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Friday. “I know that Keir Starmer and I share a desire for it to go from strength to strength. It is time for a great reset.”
“Most critically, together, the British and Irish governments are co-guarantors of the Good Friday Agreement. I look forward to building on that foundation to ensure positive progress together and to take forward our shared agenda.”
