We had a warm and substantive engagement around a range of issues and we have agreed to meet next month at the G20 meeting of Finance Ministers in the US.

Commiserations to Kerry. They once again showed the quality, character and sportsmanship that have made them one of the greatest counties in GAA history.

Days like this remind us what makes the GAA so special.

Communities united.

Families together.

Memories made.

I want to extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes to Andy Burnham on becoming UK Prime Minister today.

From my discussions with him as Mayor of Greater Manchester, it is clear that he places significant value on the UK-Ireland relationship.

My full statement:

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

I anticipate that I will engage with the Chancellor shortly and hope to discuss the importance of sustained and positive cooperation between our two countries.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

News today of the planned engagement between Cork City Council and the developers is very welcome. I truly hope it results in the right outcome for all concerned.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

I have been absolutely clear about my deep unease in relation to the proposed development on the grounds of Bessborough.
The concerns raised by survivors groups, families, campaigners and the wider community have been clear and consistent and it is important they are listened to.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

Every time we have met, including most recently last year in Dublin, it has been clear that he places great value in the UK-Ireland relationship and I look forward to working closely with him to build on that in the time ahead.

[Simon Harris TD @SimonHarrisTD]

Congratulations to @andyburnham on his election as leader of The Labour Party in the UK.

It is a proud day for him and his family.
