Talks with the UK government are to “intensify” in a bid to get Stormont up and running again, Leo Varadkar has said.
The Taoiseach said he will be stepping up talks with British Prime Minister Sunak in the coming weeks to try to get Stormont running again.Sunak said the political leaders who delivered the 1998 Good Friday Agreement showed"bravery, perseverance and political imagination” to get the historic accord over the line.
"But most importantly it is based on compromise in Northern Ireland itself. As we look forward, we will celebrate those who took difficult decisions, accepted compromise, and showed leadership - showing bravery, perseverance, and political imagination. We commemorate those who are no longer with us and the many who lost their lives by trying to prevent violence and protect the innocent,” he said.
"One of economic opportunity, prosperity and stability - it is a promise we must continue to fulfil," he said.
