The Attorney General KC travelled to Dublin where
he met with his counterpart, Attorney General Rossa Fanning.
The two Attorneys General spoke about the UK and Ireland's close
geography, shared culture, and joint commitment to the rule of
law.
Over the two-day trip, between 22 and 23 May 2025, the Attorney
also met with the Irish Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and
Migration, Jim O'Callaghan.
KC held meetings with leading
Irish legal figures, including the President of High Court David
Barniville and representatives from the Irish Supreme Court, the
Director of Public Prosecutions, Director General of Law Society
of Ireland, and Chairperson of Bar Council of Ireland's Public
Affairs Committee.
The Attorney also engaged with the Irish legal professions with a
reception at the King's Inns – Ireland's oldest law school – and
a visit to Four Courts, home to the Supreme Court, the Court of
Appeal, High Court, and the Dublin Circuit Court.
Attorney General KC said:
The UK and Ireland share the strongest of ties, with a close
geography, shared culture, and joint commitment to the rule of
law.
On the back of the historic UK-Ireland Summit in March, I made
clear the opportunities available to strengthen the partnership
between UK and Irish legal sectors – a chance to deliver growth
and prosperity in both our countries.”
