During my St Patrick’s day trip earlier this year I received 4 gifts, the details of which are outlined below.
• Scarf
• Coffee table book x 2
• Artwork
Throughout my time as Minister for I have received many handmade gifts from members from the public. I wish to note that all gifts received were of nominal monetary value and have been accepted in the spirit which they were given. Each gesture is sincerely appreciated.
