Taoiseach to address British Irish Parliamentary Assembly

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny will address the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly for the first time later.

Mr Kenny's keynote address in Cork will focus on economic recovery in the first meeting of the Assembly since he became Taoiseach.

The assembly will also hear for the need to build on the recent visit by the Queen to the Republic of Ireland to drive economic development in Ireland and Britain.

A progress report on NAMA is also expected to be delivered in an address from the agency's chairman, Frank Daly.

The work of the newly formed British Irish Chamber of Commerce will also be outlined here.
