It is not expected that Martin and Truss will hold talks in Belfast, but it is understood that efforts are under way to set up a meeting next week when the Taoiseach travels to London for the queen’s funeral.

Under the agreement, if one party has the Taoiseach, the other would have the minister for finance portfolio. “That was clear and understood,” he said.On the budget Mr Martin has said that the Government’s priority is to protect jobs and it will intervene to do so as it did during Covid-19.

Mr Martin said said the Government would favour energy credits over a price cap to deal with rising energy bills rather than a cap on energy prices as in the UK. The full impact of a cap had not yet been worked out, he said. There were a number of mechanisms through the social protection system to help those most in need, energy credits were an effective short term measure.

There are hopes that negotiations on the Northern Ireland protocol could be restarted between the EU and the new British government in the coming weeks, though Brussels and Dublin are awaiting any sign of a new approach from the Truss administration.
