Clwyd West AM Darren Millar was honoured to meet the Irish Ambassador to the UK this week.
His Excellency Mr Bobby McDonagh was in Cardiff for an event to mark St Patrick's Day and to discuss the Irish Presidency of the European Union with Assembly Members.
Darren said:
"As an Irish citizen it was an honour for me to meet His Excellency Mr Bobby McDonagh during his visit to the Senedd this week.
"I am very proud of my Irish roots and so being able to personally welcome the Irish ambassador to Wales during his visit to Cardiff Bay was a special treat.
"As two Celtic nations, Wales and Ireland have a special bond which I think we should do more to celebrate."
