Micheal Martin has welcomed Liz Truss’ victory in the Tory party leadership contest as a chance to “reset” the soured relationship between Ireland and the UK.
Ms Truss was announced as the new Conservative party leader yesterday afternoon after she beat off the challenge of her leadership race rival, Rushi Sunak.
The Taoiseach said that he believes the victory will offer fresh hopes for a breakthrough in the stalemate between Ireland and the EU versus the UK over the Northern Protocol.
