Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern and former Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams will address an Oireachtas committee on Tuesday to discuss how Ireland's peace process can inform peace building in the Middle East.

In his opening statement, Mr Ahern will tell TDs and senators that "no two conflicts are the same", but that the experience of the Good Friday Agreement can carry some lessons.
