English: A long list of reasons was given to me by the 2 Sisters chief executive for coming to this decision: Brexit, inflation, workforce shortages, COVID, energy prices. There were elements around the condition, the size, and the location of the factory itself too, he said. But, we can see that those overarching factors are ones directly under the control of UK Government, and we have to look to UK Government for a response here too. I've spoken to Isle of Anglesey County Council this morning. I know you've spoken with them too, and I look forward to all of us coming together in the coming days. And, yes, we are calling for Welsh Government support in every way possible, seeking, of course, to avoid or minimise job losses, and thereafter, in the worst case, there will no doubt be an offer of a taskforce. The Prime Minister said this lunch time that the Department for Work and Pensions has procedures it can put in place. But, let's be quite straight here: with the scale of this, the timing, with a consultation to close in a matter of weeks, leaving hardly any time to seek alternatives, we're going to need a damn sight more than a taskforce and retraining for staff to look for other opportunities. We need jobs. We need investment in local businesses to grow in the food sector, in energy. We need support for businesses with energy costs. And we need the delivery of things that we've played our part in paving the way for as a community - in energy, the council and Stena's freeport bid. I will not accept the fate of Ynys Môn being just a holiday and retirement island. And that's not to knock tourism, which has a very important role to play, but a community totally reliant on that ceases to operate like a normal community. But, at the heart of this are the people, my constituents, facing losing their work in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis. So, will Welsh Government give that undertaking to support the workers and our community at this time, in every way, to provide support for families that will need it, and support for the council to deal with added pressure on services? And will Welsh Government work with and press on UK Government to address those issues that have proved to be so devastating here, and to co-operate to deliver solutions? This would be an appalling loss of jobs the day after workers were told, I understand, that all was good.
Welsh: Rhoddwyd rhestr hir o resymau am y penderfyniad i mi gan brif weithredwr 2 Sisters: Brexit, chwyddiant, prinder gweithlu, COVID, prisiau ynni. Roedd yna elfennau'n ymwneud â chyflwr, maint a lleoliad y ffatri ei hun hefyd, meddai. Ond gallwn weld bod y ffactorau trosfwaol hynny'n rhai sydd o dan reolaeth uniongyrchol Llywodraeth y DU, ac mae'n rhaid inni edrych at Lywodraeth y DU am ymateb yma hefyd. Rwyf wedi siarad â Chyngor Sir Ynys Môn y bore yma. Gwn eich bod wedi siarad â hwy hefyd, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weld pob un ohonom yn dod at ein gilydd yn y dyddiau nesaf. Ac ydym, rydym yn galw am gymorth Llywodraeth Cymru ym mhob ffordd bosibl, gan geisio osgoi colli swyddi, neu golli cyn lleied â phosibl o swyddi, ac wedi hynny, yn y senario waethaf, heb os, bydd cynnig i sefydlu tasglu. Dywedodd Prif Weinidog y DU amser cinio fod gan yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau weithdrefnau y gall eu rhoi ar waith. Ond gadewch inni fod yn gwbl glir yma: gyda mater mor fawr, gyda'r amseriad, gydag ymgynghoriad i gau mewn ychydig wythnosau, gan adael fawr ddim amser i chwilio am ddewisiadau amgen, bydd arnom angen mwy o lawer na thasglu ac ailhyfforddi staff i chwilio am gyfleoedd eraill. Mae arnom angen swyddi. Mae arnom angen buddsoddiad mewn busnesau lleol i dyfu yn y sector bwyd, ym maes ynni. Mae arnom angen cymorth i fusnesau gyda chostau ynni. Ac mae angen inni weld y pethau rydym wedi chwarae ein rhan yn paratoi'r ffordd ar eu cyfer fel cymuned yn cael eu cyflawni - ym maes ynni, y cyngor a chais porthladd rhydd Stena. Nid wyf yn derbyn mai tynged Ynys Môn yw bod yn ynys wyliau a lle i ymddeol. Ac nid yw hynny'n sarhad ar dwristiaeth, sydd â rhan bwysig iawn i'w chwarae, ond mae cymuned sy'n gwbl ddibynnol ar hynny'n peidio â gweithredu fel cymuned normal. Ond wrth wraidd hyn, mae'r bobl, fy etholwyr, sy'n wynebu colli eu gwaith yng nghanol argyfwng costau byw. Felly, a wnaiff Llywodraeth Cymru ymrwymo i gefnogi'r gweithwyr a'n cymuned ar yr adeg hon, ym mhob ffordd, i ddarparu cymorth i'r teuluoedd a fydd ei angen, a chymorth i'r cyngor allu ymdopi â phwysau ychwanegol ar wasanaethau? Ac a wnaiff Llywodraeth Cymru weithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU a phwyso arni i fynd i'r afael â'r problemau sydd wedi bod mor ddinistriol yma, ac i gydweithredu er mwyn darparu atebion? Byddai colli'r swyddi hyn yn echrydus, a hynny ddiwrnod ar ôl i weithwyr gael gwybod bod popeth yn iawn, yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf.
