Leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage has said that he does not see a problem with renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement to remove the reference to the European Convention on Human Rights.
Speaking to RTÉ News at his party's conference, Mr Farage said that a British government led by Reform UK should be good for UK-Ireland relations.
"Obviously the Irish position, at the moment, on the EU is a bit different to ours but we all want good relations," he said.
On the issue of renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement, Mr Farage said that the "ECHR thing was written in right at the end".
"The peace agreement wasn't dependent on the ECHR, I don't see a problem with that," he added.

Mr Farage was attending the final day of his party's two-day conference.
Yesterday, Mr Farage told activists to expect a general election in the next two years, as he told the Reform UK conference that successes in the last 12 months are only the beginning.
The Reform leader struck a triumphant tone as he gave an ebullient speech to members at the event in Birmingham.
Mr Farage said the party was on track to enter government, as he announced it was setting up an internal department to prepare for office.
The party's former chairman Zia Yusuf will become its head of policy.
He took to the stage earlier than expected, minutes after Labour politician Angela Rayner resigned from her position as deputy prime minister.
He said the government was on the brink of falling apart and amid challenges from the Green Party and a party led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana, he believed the country could go to the polls to elect a new government within two years.
Last month, he announced that as part of Reform UK's plans to reduce immigration, it would take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
A Downing Street spokesperson pointed out at the time that this would require a renegotiation of the Good Friday agreement.
Reform UK said it would deport 600,000 asylum seekers during its first term in government.
During his speech to party members yesterday, he also pledged to end small boat arrivals to the UK within two weeks if Reform UK got into power.
