Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said Anglo-Irish relations have “improved very significantly” and that he and Rishi Sunak want to get Northern Ireland Protocol issues resolved “in a harmonious way”.

He told a press conference at the British-Irish Council summit: “I think the relationship, certainly between the Prime Minister and I and both governments, has improved very significantly.

“And I think we’re both of a mind to – with our colleagues in the European Union – to get this issue resolved in a harmonious way.

“And I think the meeting over these two days has again reinforced the importance of all of us working together on shared challenges and shared issues.

“So therefore, the need to really get this issue resolved is important because we have other bigger issues also. Really significant economic challenges coming our way, we have the war in Ukraine.”
