Taoiseach will meet with British Prime Minister, Tony Blair in London.
Friday, December 9th, 2005.
The meeting will focus on EU issues, including the Presidency's proposals on the Financial Perspectives issue, in advance of next week's EU Summit meeting.
While the meeting is likely to focus mainly on EU issues, the Taoiseach and Prime Minister Blair will also review the current situation in the peace process at the end of a year that saw enormous difficulties, but also unprecedented progress, especially with the IRA statement ending its armed campaign followed by the decommissioning of its weapons.
The Governments are determined that the opportunity that there now is for progress will not drift away. The Taoiseach and Prime Minister will consider how to inject momentum into the process in the New Year and are likely to meet again in January.
