Taoiseach Simon Harris will pay his first official visit to Northern Ireland today for a series of events.
The Fine Gael leader's first stop will be Stormont Castle, where he will meet First and deputy First Ministers, Michelle O'Neill and Emma Little-Pengelly.
They will discuss potential opportunities for practical all-island cooperation, including recently announced financial commitments from the Shared Island Fund. The Taoiseach will then be formally greeted at Parliament Buildings and given a tour of the Assembly chamber by the Speaker, the DUP's Edwin Poots.
Mr Harris will then host a working lunch where he will be briefed by key business stakeholders from across Northern Ireland.
