"Sinn Fein are no more than the mouth-piece for butchers and thugs," he said and called on other parties to condemn the visit.
First Secretary Rhodri Morgan said he was unaware of the visit, but the Wales Labour Party said later that it had no objections to back-bench Labour AMs meeting Sinn Fein.

A spokesman for Plaid Cymru said that none of their members had plans to meet the delegation.
He admitted that an invitation had been received but no plans had been made, although it was unclear if individual AMs had been approached.
The Sinn Fein delegation is being led by former European Parliament candidate Arthur Morgan.
