Russian Ambassador invited to Oireachtas Committee hearing next week [View all]
Russian Ambassador to Ireland Yury Filatov has been invited to attend an Oireachtas committee hearing next week to discuss the tensions on the Ukrainian border and the planned Russian naval exercises off the Irish coast.
Chair of the Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee Charlie Flanagan confirmed he had extended the invitation to the Russian Embassy.
Speaking on RTÉ's Drivetime, Mr Flanagan said he would tell the ambassador that the planned military exercises should be scrapped.
He said he hoped the ambassador would attend as he has come before the committee previously.
