Taoiseach and Prime Minister Cameron to meet in Downing Street

18th June 2015 - Susan Moss

The Taoiseach is travelling to London to meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron at No 10 Downing Street.

On Wednesday evening the Taoiseach attended a commemorative banquet at the City of London’s Guildhall to mark the 200 th  anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.  The Taoiseach’s presence at the banquet will serve to highlight the role played by Irishmen at that major battle, whose outcome helped shape Europe’s destiny for generations afterwards.

On Thursday morning the Taoiseach will visit the Irish Women Survivors Support Network at Whispering Hope Centre in Kentish Town. The Centre provides advice, support and information to all Survivors of Irish institutional care, including the Magdalene Laundries.
 
The Taoiseach’s bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Cameron is the third annual summit to review progress since the Joint Statement signed by the Taoiseach and Prime Minister in March 2012, which set out ambitious plans for the development of British-Irish relations in a range of key areas over the next decade.  

They will have a discussion on bilateral relations including economic issues and on the current situation in Northern Ireland including on a number of legacy issues.
