The Prime Minister and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar spoke by telephone on Monday as talks between the UK and EU continue around the Northern Ireland Protocol.
It is the first conversation by telephone the two premiers have had since Mr Varadkar became Taoiseach last month.The post-Brexit treaty was agreed between the two sides in 2019 to see regulatory and customs checks on goods moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Irish Sea to avoid a hard border in Ireland.
An Irish government spokesperson indicated Mr Varadkar and Mr Sunak discussed a range of issues including the protocol, Stormont and British-Irish relations more broadly. The Taoiseach is described as having repeated the need for a solution which avoids a hard border on the island of Ireland and protects the integrity of the single market.
