Cynhaliwyd 38ain cyfarfod y Cyngor Prydeinig\-Gwyddelig ar 10/11 Tachwedd gan Lywodraeth y DU yn Blackpool. Ymunais â’r cyfarfod o bell.


Cafodd rhaglen yr Uwchgynhadledd ei hagor gan Brif Weinidog y DU, a fynychodd ddigwyddiadau ddydd Iau 10 Tachwedd. Cadeiriwyd cyfarfod llawn yr Uwchgynhadledd ddydd Gwener 11 Tachwedd gan y Gwir Anrh Michael Gove AS, yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol dros Ffyniant Bro, Tai a Chymunedau a’r Gweinidog Cysylltiadau Rhynglywodraethol.


Roedd y cynrychiolwyr eraill a oedd yn bresennol yn cynnwys y Taoiseach, Micheál Martin TD, Prif Weinidog yr Alban, y Gwir Anrh Nicola Sturgeon ASA, Prif Weinidog Jersey, Kristina Moore, Prif Weinidog Guernsey, y Dirprwy Peter Ferbrache, Prif Weinidog Ynys Manaw, Alfred Cannan MHK, ac Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Gogledd Iwerddon, y Gwir Anrh Chris Heaton\-Harris AS.


Twf ac Adfywio Cynaliadwy oedd thema’r Uwchgynhadledd hon. Canolbwyntiodd y Cyngor ar ymdrechion sydd ar y gweill ar draws yr aelod\-weinyddiaethau sy’n rhan o’r Cyngor Prydeinig\-Gwyddelig i ysgogi a chefnogi twf economaidd cynaliadwy, i ddatblygu cymunedau mwy cynhwysol, ac i fynd i’r afael â’r pwysau sydd ar dai yn benodol. Nododd y Cyngor hefyd y cyfarfod Gweinidogol diweddar o sector gwaith Cynhwysiant Cymdeithasol y Cyngor, a gynhaliwyd yng Nghaerdydd.


At hynny, trafododd y Cyngor y datblygiadau gwleidyddol diweddaraf gan gynnwys: ymosodiad Rwsia ar Wcráin, effaith y cynnydd mewn costau byw, amcanion cyffredin o ran hinsawdd a datgarboneiddio, a’r berthynas barhaus â’r UE. Rhoddwyd yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Cyngor am Ogledd Iwerddon ac edrychwyd ymlaen at adfer y sefydliadau datganoledig. Nododd y Cyngor hefyd y byddai 2023 yn dynodi 25 mlynedd ers Cytundeb Gwener y Groglith/Belfast, ac amlinellodd bwysigrwydd cefnogi pob un o sefydliadau’r cytundeb i weithredu’n effeithiol, gan gynnwys y Cyngor Prydeinig\-Gwyddelig.


Wrth gyfrannu at y drafodaeth hon, amlygais nifer o feysydd y mae angen iddynt barhau ar frig rhestr blaenoriaethau’r Cyngor Prydeinig\-Gwyddelig:


* gweithio ochr yn ochr â chymunedau i sicrhau twf cynaliadwy, gan fuddsoddi mewn seilwaith, pobl a lleoedd, i greu’r amodau lle bydd busnesau yn buddsoddi;
* rôl buddsoddiad uniongyrchol gan y Llywodraeth mewn strategaethau twf, mewn meysydd fel newid hinsawdd, ymchwil ac arloesi, a chefnogi egin ddiwydiannau;
* yr argyfwng costau byw a’r angen am gamau pellach sylweddol i gefnogi aelwydydd sy’n agored i niwed sy’n cael trafferth gyda chostau cynyddol, gan ganolbwyntio ar atebion ymarferol;
* yr argyfwng ynni a’r angen i ganolbwyntio ar ynni adnewyddadwy, er budd diogelwch ynni a’r argyfwng hinsawdd, ac i wneud ynni cartrefi yn fforddiadwy;
* effeithiau pryderus Brexit gan gynnwys ar ymchwil, masnach a phorthladdoedd Cymru, a’r angen am sefydlogrwydd a gwelliannau yn y fasnach a’r berthynas ehangach rhwng y DU a’r UE.

The 38th meeting of the British\-Irish Council on 10/11 November was hosted by the UK Government in Blackpool. I attended the meeting virtually.


The Summit programme was opened by the Prime Minister, who attended events on Thursday 10th November. The Summit Plenary session on Friday 11th November was Chaired by the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Minister for Intergovernmental Relations.


Other attendees included Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, the First Minister of Scotland the Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon MSP, the Chief Minister of Jersey Kristina Moore, the Chief Minister of Guernsey Deputy Peter Ferbrache, the Chief Minister of the Isle of Man Alfred Cannan MHK, and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Rt Hon Chris Heaton\-Harris MP.


The theme of this Summit was Sustainable Growth and Regeneration. The Council focussed on efforts underway across BIC Member Administrations to stimulate and support sustainable economic growth, the development of more inclusive communities, and to address pressures on housing in particular. The Council also noted the recent Ministerial meeting of the BIC Social Inclusion work sector, which took place in Cardiff.


In addition, the Council discussed the latest political developments including: the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the impact of the rising cost of living, shared climate and decarbonisation objectives, and ongoing relations with the EU. The Council received an update on Northern Ireland and looked forward to the restoration of the devolved institutions. The Council also noted that 2023 would mark the 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement, and underlined the importance of supporting the effective


functioning of all of the agreement’s institutions, including the British\-Irish Council.


In contributing to this discussion, I highlighted a number of areas that need to remain as high priorities for the BIC:


* working alongside communities to achieve sustainable growth, investing in infrastructure, people and places, to create the conditions in which businesses will invest;
* the role of direct Government investment in growth strategies, in areas such as climate change, research and innovation, and supporting nascent industries;
* the cost of living crisis and the need for significant further action to support vulnerable households struggling with rising costs, with a focus on practical solutions;
* the energy crisis and the need to focus on renewable energy, for the benefit of energy security, the climate crisis and to make household energy affordable;
* the concerning impacts of Brexit including on research, trade and Welsh ports, and the need for stability and improvements in the trading and the wider relationship between the UK and the EU.
