Taoiseach to push ‘pressing need’ to get Stormont institutions in place again during meetings with party leaders
Government sources in Dublin said that relations had improved with Mr Sunak’s government but still fell short of the high points of Anglo-Irish relations on Northern Ireland in the 1990s and 2000s, with no joint strategy on dealing with political parties or wider approaches.
In a statement released before his trip to Belfast, the Government said the Taoiseach will meet Michelle O’Neill, Jeffrey Donaldson, Naomi Long, Doug Beattie and Matthew O’Toole, and will “reiterate the pressing need to get the Stormont institutions in place again without delay”. Mr Varadkar told the FT that his conversations with the UK government and local parties still led him to hope that the Stormont Executive could be revived this autumn. But he acknowledged: “It is more hope than expectation at this stage, to be frank.
