Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of pages 142 and 143 of the Irish government's publication entitled Programme for Government 2025 - Securing Ireland's Future, published on 23 January 2025.
Answered by Hilary Benn
I welcome the Irish Government’s commitment to enhancing bilateral relations and upholding the principles of the Good Friday Agreement. We have made great progress in resetting UK-Ireland relations since the UK General Election and this will be reaffirmed by the first UK-Ireland Summit between the Prime Minister and Taoiseach, underlining our renewed and close relations.
