Martin and Harris to attend British-Irish Council summit
Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tánaiste Simon Harris will attend the 43rd summit meeting of the British-Irish Council (BIC), which is being hosted by the Northern Ireland Executive.
The summit will be attended by political leaders from the BIC's eight member administrations and will focus on the theme of 'The role of AI in Reform and Transformation'.
Last night, Mr Harris held substantial discussions with the Northern Secretary Hilary Benn on the issue of legacy as part of ongoing intensive efforts to find an agreement between the Irish and UK governments.
Mr Harris will hold bilateral meetings with the North's First and deputy First Ministers and the Scottish First Minister, as well as taking part in the summit plenary meeting.
The BIC was established in December 1999, following the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, to "promote the harmonious and mutually beneficial development of the totality of relationships among the peoples of these islands".
