Taoiseach Meets Cameron At No 10
The Irish premier, Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, is in London today for his first formal meeting with the new British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr Cowen and the Prime Minister initially spoke by telephone after the Prime Minister took office last month and agreed to hold a formal meeting in Downing Street to discuss the future development of relations between Ireland and Britain.
A spokesman for the party said the two men had also met in the margins of the European Council in Brussels last week.
During their meeting in Downing Street today, Mr Cowen and Mr Cameron are expected to discuss the recent publication of the Saville report on Bloody Sunday, as well financial matters.
A spokesman for Mr Cowen said: "At their meeting in Downing St today, the Taoiseach and prime minister are expected to reflect on recent positive developments in Northern Ireland, and on how they can continue to work together to consolidate the huge progress of recent years.
"They are also expected to discuss wider bilateral relations between Ireland and Britain, with a particular focus on economic and financial matters, as well as international themes, including key issues for the European Union and the forthcoming G20 Summit."
