Cameron Says State Visit 'Remarkable'
Joining Her Majesty the Queen on the State Visit to the Republic of Ireland today, the UK's Prime Minister said the visit was “remarkable” and demonstrated the fact the relationship between Britain and the Republic of Ireland had “never been stronger”.
David Cameron will meet with the Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny for bilateral talks before joining The Queen at a State Banquet.
The Queen has been conducting a State Visit to the Republic since Tuesday – the first for a British monarch for 100 years.
Speaking today, the PM said: “I think it demonstrates that the relationship between Britain and the Republic of Ireland is strong and probably has never been stronger, and with a successful devolution of policing and justice that made this visit possible.
He added: “I think the scenes on our television screens last night of the visits Her Majesty made to heal the wounds of the past but also to look to a very bright future between our two countries are remarkable and hugely welcome.”
Foreign Secretary William Hague, who is also attending the State Visit, said the occasion marked a “transformation in the relationship between Britain and Ireland”.
The visit by the PM follows an earlier meeting between Mr Cameron and Taoiseach Enda Kenny in Downing Street in April.
