Taoiseach Micheál Martin is set to hold talks with the new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss on Sunday morning, while he is in London for the funeral of Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

Both Mr Martin and President Michael D Higgins will attend the monarch's funeral on Monday. It is considered unusual for both the head of Government and the head of State to be outside Ireland at the same event.
