Prime Minister Keir Starmer travelled to Cork on 12 March for the second UK-Ireland Summit, hosted by Taoiseach Micheál Martin. The two-day event runs until 13 March under the theme Shared Prosperity, Shared Seas, Shared Ties. Discussions cover trade, clean energy, maritime security, and skills. The summit builds on a cooperation programme agreed at last year's inaugural meeting in Liverpool.
