DUBLIN (Reuters) -Britain and Ireland said on Saturday they were moving "from friction back to friendship" as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Dublin, part of his efforts to improve ties with the Republic of Ireland and the broader European Union.

Starmer, the first British prime minister to visit Ireland for five years, had talks with Irish prime minister Simon Harris, less than two months after hosting Harris at his Chequers country residence after his Labour Party won Britain's election.
