Comhoibríonn an tOireachtas le tionóil pharlaiminteacha eile san Eoraip agus níos faide i gcéin. Tugann parlaiminteoirí eachtracha cuairt ar an Oireachtas go rialta chun staidéar a dhéanamh ar shaincheisteanna beartais agus chun dul i mbun cainteanna lena gcomhghleacaithe Éireannacha. Taistealaíonn Comhaltaí den Oireachtais chuig parlaimintí eile freisin.
Glacann an tOireachtas páirt i dtionóil pharlaiminteacha Eorpacha agus idirnáisiúnta chomh maith. Tá Éire ina ball den Aontas Idirpharlaiminteach, de Thionól Parlaiminteach Chomhairle na hEorpa agus de Thionól Parlaiminteach na hEagraíochta um Shlándáil agus Comhar san Eoraip.
Is é cuspóir na hoibre seo uile dea-chaidreamh oibre a chothú, díospóireacht a chur chun cinn, tuiscint níos fearr ar shaincheisteanna comhspéise a chruthú agus comhsheasamh a shocrú más féidir.
