Keir Starmer and Taoiseach Micheál Martin led a significant UK-Ireland summit in Liverpool aimed at fostering closer ties between the two nations. Emphasizing the relationship's importance, both leaders discussed plans for enhanced cooperation, including efforts to strengthen economic relations with the EU post-Brexit. Starmer expressed the need for a reset in the UK-Ireland relationship amidst global volatility, while the Taoiseach highlighted the interdependence of the UK and Irish economies. The summit seeks to establish a strategic plan titled UK-Ireland 2030, enhancing collaboration through strengthened ties and reduced barriers to trade and services.
We're strengthening our alliance with the EU. Now, that doesn't mean back in the single market or customs union, but it does mean, genuinely, a closer economic relationship.
It's an extremely important relationship for Ireland and when the UK economy does well, the Irish economy does well. This is a joint effort and endeavor.
