The Upper House of the Parliament of Ireland, Seanad Éireann, has recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

This was reported by the Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland.

"A truly historic decision by the Seanad Éireann to recognise Holodomor of 1932-33 in Ukraine as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Ireland is among our closest friends that is not afraid to call a spade a spade," the Embassy shared on Twitter.
