I congratulate Andy Burnham on becoming UK Prime Minister today.
I look forward to working with him to further strengthen the partnership and friendship between our two countries.
Our relationship has deepened further in recent years with annual UK-Ireland Summits, and our respective roles as co-guarantors of the Good Friday Agreement.
We will also work to facilitate a stronger relationship between the UK and European Union.
During his time as Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy was a great champion of deeper links between Ireland and Britain.
It has been a pleasure to meet him on several occasions, including during his visits to Ireland last year.
I will work with Prime Minister Burnham to ensure that close cooperation between Ireland and the UK delivers real tangible benefits for people, communities and businesses right across these islands.
