English: Diolch, Llywydd. I'd like to add to the tributes to Carl Sargeant, again, after expressing my condolences and respects to his family and friends and colleagues inside this Chamber and, indeed, across the country. I was elected to this institution in 2003, the same year as Carl Sargeant, and, from my perspective, something that I associate him with is his rootedness and his authenticity. He was a politician who was authentically working class, he was rooted in and committed to his community, living among the people that he represented, never forgetting them, always working for them. He was a worker himself, of course, who came into politics after seeing fellow workers in his constituency fall into economic hardship. Carl Sargeant was a politician who could never be accused of being out of touch. His loss is a blow to this Assembly and I, and Plaid Cymru, share the loss felt across this Chamber and across the country. My colleague Bethan Jenkins AM is not able to be here today to pay her own personal tribute to her friend Carl Sargeant, because she's suffered an injury. She would have spoken, so I've agreed to say some words from Bethan on her behalf. So, this is from Bethan Jenkins: 'Carl Sargeant was a friend of mine from across the political divide. Despite many people telling me that I should not have friends from different parties, I've always been of the belief that we are human first. All I know was that whenever I needed support or someone to speak to about anything, Carl was at the other end of the phone. We joked after I would raise questions in Plenary with him that even though we clashed politically he still respected me, and vice versa. I can say for the record that I am devastated. My support rock in that place has gone. Gorwedd mewn hedd, Carl.' So, those are the words from Bethan Jenkins where she pays tribute to Carl Sargeant, adding to the tributes from all of us here in Plaid Cymru. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Hoffwn i ychwanegu at y teyrngedau i Carl Sargeant, unwaith eto, ar ôl mynegi fy nghydymdeimlad a'm cyfarchion i'w deulu, ei ffrindiau a'i gydweithwyr yn y Siambr hon ac, yn wir, ledled y wlad. Cefais fy ethol i'r sefydliad hwn yn 2003, yr un flwyddyn â Carl Sargeant, ac, o'm safbwynt i, y peth rwyf i'n ei gysylltu ag ef yw ei gysylltiad cadarn â'i wreiddiau a'i ddiffuantrwydd. Roedd e'n wleidydd dosbarth gweithiol diffuant, roedd wedi ei wreiddio yn ei gymuned ac yn ymrwymedig iddi, yn byw ymhlith y bobl yr oedd yn eu cynrychioli, heb eu hanghofio byth, a bob amser yn gweithio drostyn nhw. Roedd e'n weithiwr ei hun, wrth gwrs, a ddaeth i wleidyddiaeth ar ôl gweld ei gyd-weithwyr yn ei etholaeth yn disgyn i galedi economaidd. Roedd Carl Sargeant yn wleidydd nad oedd modd ei gyhuddo o fod wedi colli cysylltiad. Mae ei golled yn ergyd i'r Cynulliad hwn ac rwyf i, a Plaid Cymru, yn rhannu'r golled a gaiff ei deimlo ar draws y Siambr hon a ledled y wlad. Ni all fy nghyd-Aelod, Bethan Jenkins, fod yma heddiw i dalu ei theyrnged bersonol ei hun i'w ffrind Carl Sargeant, oherwydd ei bod hi wedi dioddef anaf. Byddai hi wedi siarad, felly rwyf i wedi cytuno i ddweud ychydig o eiriau gan Bethan ar ei rhan. Felly, mae hwn gan Bethan Jenkins: 'Roedd Carl Sargeant yn ffrind i mi o ochr arall y rhaniad gwleidyddol. Er i lawer o bobl ddweud wrthyf na ddylwn i fod â ffrindiau mewn gwahanol bleidiau, rwyf wedi credu erioed ein bod ni'n bobl yn gyntaf. Y cyfan y gwn i yw, pryd bynnag yr oedd angen cymorth neu rywun i siarad am unrhyw beth, roedd Carl ar ben arall y ffôn. Byddem ni'n cael jôc ar ôl i mi godi cwestiynau iddo yn y cyfarfod llawn er ein bod ni'n gwrthdaro yn wleidyddol, ei fod ef yn dal i'm parchu i, ac i'r gwrthwyneb. A gaf i ddweud ar goedd fy mod i wedi torri nghalon. Mae fy nghraig o gymorth yn y lle hwn wedi mynd. Gorwedd mewn hedd, Carl.' Felly, dyna eiriau Bethan Jenkins, sy'n talu teyrnged i Carl Sargeant, gan ychwanegu at y teyrngedau gan bob un ohonom ni yma ym Mhlaid Cymru. Diolch yn fawr.
