British Irish Relations have never been better, according to Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin.

The Minister was speaking today at the Annual Conference of the British Irish Chamber of Commerce at the Titanic in Belfast.

Speaking at the event, Minister Howlin noted:

Over the past few years in particular there have been significant developments in cooperation at Government level. There is a mutual respect and trust which extends beyond Government into the wider community.

Engagement between the Irish and British Governments is increasingly about our bilateral opportunities and our shared interests in Europe and internationally, not least in the world of business.
