Colum Eastwood and Micheal Martin at a previous meeting last year
The pair discussed the urgent need to restore the power sharing institutions at Stormont, the process to seek an accommodation between the European Commission and the British Government on the operation of the Northern Ireland Protocol and the legacy legislation currently before parliament.
Said the Foyle MP: “I had a productive call with the Tánaiste this morning. Our shared priority remains the restoration of the devolved institutions at Stormont.
“With crises facing the delivery of public services and household finances in every community, it is vital that the Assembly and Executive are back up and running as soon as possible.
“We also discussed the British Government’s deeply flawed approach to legacy and the impact of the bill currently before parliament.
“This legislation does not command the support of victims and survivors, the political parties in Northern Ireland or the Irish Government.
“Shutting down opportunities for justice and accountability is a gross abdication of responsibility and we will continue to oppose it.”
