Our mission

We develop and maintain the important and longstanding relations between the UK and Ireland. We deal with a wide range of shared political, commercial, security and economic questions.

Our work covers a range of issues including the economic and trade aspects of the bilateral relations between UK and Ireland, advising the British government on Irish policy, and improving Anglo-Irish work in areas such as foreign policy, the EU, science and innovation, energy, sustainable development, climate change, illegal immigration and counter-terrorism.
