Covid-19: 'Constructive' North-South meeting on Covid-19

Discussions at Friday's North-South Ministerial Council (NSMC) meeting have been 'constructive', Taoiseach (Irish PM) Micheál Martin has said. Writing after the meeting, Mr Martin said the response to Covid-19 had been 'high on the agenda', along with 'the implications of Brexit'. The meeting between representatives from both sides of the border was held virtually. The first and deputy first ministers took part in the meeting. They were joined by Irish government leaders. The NSMC is the main body for cross-border co-operation between the governments of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
