Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Before I ask the Acting Leader to outline the Order of Business, I welcome to the Distinguished Visitors Gallery a delegation from Ukraine, including the First Vice Speaker of the Parliament, the ambassador of Ukraine to Ireland and members of the Parliament. We had a good engagement earlier talking about Ukraine's membership of the European Union and the ongoing support for Ukraine in its struggle to regain its national territory against the illegal invasion by Russia.

With Ireland's Presidency of the European Union coming up, one of the key parts of Ireland's agenda will be to progress membership of the European Union for Ukraine and to allow and facilitate engagement by Ukrainian members of Parliament with the Members of Parliament who will be here during our Presidency.
