Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that both Ireland and the UK are "very close" to agreeing a new framework on dealing with the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Mr Martin met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers this morning.
He said that both sides had made "very good progress" on dealing with legacy, which was a "manifestation" of the "reset" in the relationship between the UK and Ireland.
Mr Martin said that both he and Mr Starmer were "at one" on the issue.
However, there is concern in Westminster that Mr Starmer may struggle to get legislation, to repeal the Legacy Act, through parliament.
A number of Labour backbenchers have echoed concern voiced by opposition parties in terms of removing immunity for British soldiers.
Separately, both leaders also discussed the "catastrophic humanitarian situation" in Gaza.
They also spoke about Ukraine, with Mr Martin saying that he believed it was important for Ireland to "play its role" in terms of any potential peace or ceasefire.
However, he said that at the moment there was no indication that Russia would end the war.
A spokesperson for Mr Starmer said that both leaders agreed that the relationship between Ireland and the UK was "very strong" and that "good progress across all areas of the relationship" has been made since the UK-Ireland summit last March.
The spokesperson said that both Mr Martin and Mr Starmer agreed to stay in touch.
