Local Member of the Senedd, Samuel Kurtz has been appointed as an Associate Member to the British and Irish Parliamentary Assembly; an organisation whose primary aim is to promote co-operation between parliamentary representatives in Britain and Ireland.
Commenting on his appointment, Samuel Kurtz MS said: “It’s a huge honour to have been appointed to the British and Irish Parliamentary Assembly.
“As a former crew member of the ferry service between Pembrokeshire and Rosslare, I know first-hand how important the service is in supporting our local economy and communities.”
