Theresa May tells Irish-Americans she’ll uphold Good Friday agreement
has written to a group of prominent Irish-Americans underlining the British government’s commitment to upholding the Good Friday agreement.
“The agreement, along with its successors, has been the bedrock of the significant progress that has been made in Northern Ireland over the past two decades,” she wrote. “No Government that I lead will ever take risks with the hard won relative peace and stability that these agreements have established.”
Speaking on Friday, James Walsh, the co-chair of the ad hoc committee of Irish Americans, established to highlight the concerns of Irish-America as Britain prepares to leave the European Union, said he welcomed the prime minister’s affirmation of the importance of the Good Friday agreement in the letter.
The development comes as the White House issued a statement on Friday celebrating Irish-American heritage month to mark the “indispensable contributions Irish Americans have made to every chapter of our Nation’s history”.
