Leaders to focus on economy in first Downing St summit

ECONOMIC issues were set to dominate the first Downing Street summit between Taoiseach Brian Cowen and new British Premier David Cameron.

Brian Cowen is travelling to London today for their first top-level meeting outside of an EU gathering.

The move comes after Conservative David Cameron surprised many with his unambiguous acceptance of the Bloody Sunday probe which found that the shooting dead of 14 Derry civilians in 1972 was both unjustified and unjustifiable.
