Ireland and UK 'Very Close' on Troubles Legacy Framework
Prime Minister Starmer and Taoiseach Martin made significant progress on a framework addressing Northern Ireland's legacy, focusing on victims and community reconciliation, officials said.
- On Friday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin held talks at the UK Prime Minister’s country residence with Keir Starmer to address the legacy of Northern Ireland’s Troubles and other political matters.
- The meeting followed earlier progress including a July phone call and stems from widespread opposition to the 2023 Legacy Act and its legacy body ICRIR.
- They discussed setting a new framework for addressing legacy cases, bilateral cooperation, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and ongoing support for Ukraine.
- Martin said both governments are very close to agreement and described their talks as "warm and constructive," noting no sign Russia intends to cease its war.
- Their discussion signals a near-finalized framework for legacy issues, although concerns remain in Westminster about repealing the Legacy Act amid political opposition.
