A US special envoy to the North would be welcome, says Varadkar

 

The Government would welcome the appointment of a US special envoy to Northern Ireland, the Taoiseach has said ahead of his meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday.

 

Speaking on the first day of official engagements in Washington on Wednesday, Mr Varadkar said that this week offered an opportunity to talk to US political leaders about Ireland’s position on Brexit. The Taoiseach added that it was also an opportunity to deliver the message that Ireland is a “good and reliable partner for the United States that is certain about its place in the world when perhaps other countries are not and are somewhat in chaos”.

 

“Certainly if the president is open to wanting a special envoy to Northern Ireland that would be very welcome. We know historically that when the United States has taken an interest in the affairs of Northern Ireland it has helped bring peace . . . so that will certainly be welcome,” he said.
