Taoiseach Simon Harris has met with UK prime minister Keir Starmer to begin a "reset" of Anglo-Irish relations, with Mr Starmer saying the meeting represents a "new chapter" in the relationship.

Mr Harris arrived at Mr Starmer's English country retreat, Chequers, under heavy security to hold his first meeting with the new UK leader, who invited the Taoiseach on the day of his emphatic general election win.
