The visit by TDs and Senators to the Ukraine is expected to strengthen parliamentary ties between both countries, IOL reported.
Ceann Comhairle Dr Rory O’Hanlon returns to Ireland today after leading a six-member Oireachtas delegation on a brief trip to the country.
Dr O’Hanlon said he was accepting an invitation from the Speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Vladimir Litvin.
