English: Yes, clearly, these kinds of events are events where learners can practise their Welsh language skills, so they've missed out on those opportunities, but I would also say that those kinds of events are places where we can recruit and attract new learners for the following year. As it happens - I will perhaps expand on this later on - our recruitment figures do look very positive at the moment, but certainly our providers have missed that personal, face-to-face contact and that's particularly true perhaps in more deprived areas, which tend to have reduced digital connectivity. We have been able to contribute to things such as the Eisteddfod AmGen and there was a learners' village as part of that, but also, in October, we will be having a week to celebrate Welsh language learning in collaboration with Radio Cymru. So, there have been opportunities, but people have missed that face-to-face interaction.
Welsh: Ie, yn amlwg, mae'r mathau yma o ddigwyddiadau yn ddigwyddiadau lle mae dysgwyr yn gallu ymarfer eu Cymraeg, felly maen nhw wedi colli'r cyfle hynny, ond byddwn i hefyd yn dweud bod y mathau yna o ddigwyddiadau yn llefydd lle rŷn ni'n arfer recriwtio ar gyfer denu dysgwyr newydd ar gyfer y flwyddyn i ddod. Fel mae'n digwydd - efallai wnaf fi ymhelaethu yn nes ymlaen - mae ein ffigurau recriwtio ni yn edrych yn dda iawn ar hyn o bryd, ond yn sicr mae ein darparwyr ni wedi gweld eisiau'r cyswllt personol yna, ac efallai fod hynny'n arbennig o wir mewn ardaloedd mwy difreintiedig, sydd yn tueddu i fod â llai o gysylltedd digidol beth bynnag. Rŷn ni wedi, wrth gwrs, gallu cyfrannu at bethau fel yr Eisteddfod AmGen ac mi oedd yna bentref dysgwyr yn rhan o'r ŵyl honno, a byddwn ni hefyd, ym mis Hydref, yn gwneud wythnos dathlu dysgu ar y cyd â Radio Cymru. Felly, mae yna gyfleoedd, ond, yn sicr, mae pobl wedi colli'r profiadau wyneb yn wyneb yna.
English: Yes, certainly, people have missed out on the social element. We've had many examples of Merched y Wawr responding very positively to the challenges - planning ahead, so that someone was able to combine shopping and keeping in touch with the most vulnerable and the older members. But that experience of meeting together and having conversations face-to-face - . We have developed a number of different programmes particularly over Zoom. It's been wonderful for those people who have the technology, but you can never actually make up for face-to-face meetings. And, in some areas, we are perhaps the only organisation meeting through the medium of Welsh. We welcome Welsh language learners with open arms, of course, but those experiences have also fallen to one side. So, for the future, I very much hope that community confidence can be regained. Again, my concern is community buildings. They're already vulnerable - a number of schools are having to reassess now, and village halls. If we look at chapel and church halls, will they be able to open to community groups? So, where will our meeting places be, considering that there is also a threat to pubs, too? So, venues are so very important and are at the heart of society. So, we perhaps need to look at that element too in terms of how important the Welsh language is in relation to those meeting places and community centres.
Welsh: Ydy, yn sicr, mae pobl wedi colli'r gymdeithas. Rŷn ni wedi cael sawl enghraifft o Ferched y Wawr yn ymateb yn bositif iawn i'r heriau - wedi bod yn medru cynllunio a chydblethu, fel bod rhywun yn medru siopa a chadw mewn cyswllt â'r bobl fwyaf bregus neu'r bobl hŷn o bosib. Ond y profiad yna o fedru cyfarfod ar y cyd a chael sgwrs wyneb yn wyneb - . Rŷn ni wedi datblygu nifer fawr o gynlluniau gwahanol, yn enwedig gyda Zoom. Mae wedi bod yn wych i'r bobl sydd â'r dechnoleg, ond gallwch chi byth â chymryd i ffwrdd yr agosatrwydd o gael cyfarfod wyneb yn wyneb. Ac, mewn ambell ardaloedd, efallai mai ni yw'r unig fudiad sydd yn cyfarfod yn uniongyrchol trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Rydym yn croesawu dysgwyr gyda llaw agored, ond mae'r profiadau hynna hefyd wedi mynd ar goll. Felly, i'r dyfodol, dwi'n mawr obeithio bydd yr hyder cymunedol yn ailgychwyn. Ac eto, fy ngofid mawr i yw'r adeiladau cymunedol. Maen nhw'n fregus yn barod - mae nifer o'r ysgolion nawr yn mynd i orfod ailasesu, a neuaddau pentref. Os edrychwn wedyn ar neuaddau capeli ac eglwysi, ydyn nhw yn mynd i fedru agor yr adeiladau i grwpiau cymunedol? Felly, ble fydd y mannau cyfarfod hynny, o ystyried hefyd fod bygythiad i dai tafarn yn ogystal? Felly, mae lleoliadau mor, mor bwysig ac yn greiddiol i gymdeithas. Felly, efallai fod angen edrych hefyd ar yr elfen hynny o ba mor bwysig yw Cymreictod o edrych ar yr adeiladau cymunedol a'r mannau cyfarfod cymunedol.
English: Yes, we too had to cancel events - weekends for learners - although we adapted to holding weekly coffee mornings online. But, certainly, digital and online spaces are crucial in the current context in terms of increasing the number of Welsh speakers and usage of the language. Although there have been successes in this area with Welsh for adults all provided online, we do think that adapting fully to the digital sphere will be a crucial aim beyond COVID, if the language is to survive. So, at the moment, part of our demands, as part of 'Mwy na Miliwn' for the Welsh Government is to establish a digital Welsh language initiative and that that should commission Welsh language content and experience online. And in terms of the use of the language among Welsh speakers, a study has shown that 84 per cent of Welsh speakers say that they would welcome the opportunity to have more Welsh-medium material online. So, the demand is there, but we need a body such as this for the Welsh language. There's also a study that estimates that only 250 of the more than 7,000 current languages will adapt properly to digital, whilst 2,500 other languages that won't have adapted sufficiently to digital will be expected to survive for only a further century.
Welsh: Roedd rhaid i ni hefyd ganslo digwyddiadau - penwythnosau i ddysgwyr - er ein bod ni wedi addasu sgyrsiau bore coffi wythnosol ar-lein. Ond mae un peth yn sicr, sef fod gofodau digidol ar-lein yn y cyd-destun presennol yn hollol allweddol o ran cynyddu nifer y siaradwyr a'r defnydd o'r iaith. Er bod rhai llwyddiannau eisoes yn digwydd yn y maes yma, dwi'n meddwl, gyda Chymraeg i oedolion i gyd yn cael ei gynnal ar-lein, rydym ni'n teimlo y byddai addasu'n llawn i'r oes ddigidol yn parhau i fod yn nod gwbl allweddol y tu hwnt i COVID, os yw'r iaith i barhau. Felly, ar hyn o bryd, rhan o'n set o alwadau ni, gyda 'Mwy na Miliwn', i'r Llywodraeth nesaf yw sefydlu menter ddigidol Gymraeg ac rydym ni'n gofyn i hwnnw gomisiynu cynnwys a phrofiadau Cymraeg ar y we. Ac o ran defnydd o'r iaith ymhlith siaradwyr, mae yna astudiaeth yn dangos bod yna 84 y cant o siaradwyr Cymraeg yn dweud y byddent yn croesawu'r cyfle i dderbyn mwy yn y Gymraeg ar y we. Felly, mae'r galw yno, ond mae gwir angen corff fel hyn ar y Gymraeg rydym ni'n teimlo. Ac mae yna astudiaeth yn amcangyfrif mai dim ond tua 250 o'r 7,000 o ieithoedd byw cyfredol fydd yn llwyddo i addasu'n ddigonol i'r oes ddigidol, tra bydd disgwyl i 2,500 o ieithoedd eraill na fydd wedi addasu'n ddigonol i'r oes ddigidol barhau i fodoli am ddim ond canrif arall.
English: We'll have an opportunity to go back to digital, because we have specific questions on this, and so we would like to hear more about this idea of such a body when we come to those questions. Caryl, do you have anything to add to John's question on those areas where the Welsh language isn't necessarily as strong as a community language? You referred to the young farmers' eisteddfod, for example, where you were meant to be.
Welsh: Byddwn yn cael cyfle i fynd yn ôl at bethau digidol, achos mae gennym ni gwestiynau penodol ar hyn, so byddwn ni'n hoffi clywed mwy am y syniad hwn o gorff pan ddown ni at hyn. Caryl, wyt ti eisiau ychwanegu at gwestiwn John ynglŷn â'r ardaloedd lle dyw'r Cymraeg ddim mor gryf fel iaith gymunedol? Roeddech chi'n cyfeirio at eisteddfod y ffermwyr ifanc, er enghraifft, lle roeddech chi'n bwriadu bod.
English: Bethan, you referred to this in terms of how Cymdeithas yr Iaith is reliant on the Eisteddfod gigs to fund your activity through the rest of the year. Do you want to tell us more about that?
Welsh: Bethan, roeddech chi'n dechrau cyfeirio at hyn o ran fel mae Cymdeithas yr Iaith yn dibynnu lot ar y gigs yn ystod yr Eisteddfod i ariannu eich gweithgareddau trwy weddill y flwyddyn. Ŷch chi moyn dweud rhagor ynlgŷn â hyn?
English: Well, certainly, our funding comes solely from our supporters, so, in terms of practicalities, that could assist groups such as our own. It's difficult to think of any particular support that could be provided from Government, but perhaps using locations or venues free of charge would help, with reduced numbers in larger venues. From a cultural perspective, perhaps we could look at more creative developments online. We worked, in the past, with the Night Out programme to stage certain events and gigs, and perhaps there would be scope to expand that virtually.
Welsh: Ie, yn sicr, mae'r arian y mae'r gymdeithas yn ei gael yn dod yn unig o'n cefnogwyr ni, felly, ie, o ran pethau ymarferol, efallai fuasai'n help i grwpiau fel ni. Mae'n anodd meddwl am gymorth arbennig fuasai'n gallu dod o'r Llywodraeth, ond efallai fyddai gallu defnyddio gwagleoedd am ddim yn help, efallai petaem ni'n cynnal cyfarfodydd o glystyrau llai ond mewn lleoliadau mawr. Efallai, ar yr ochr ddiwylliannol, gellid edrych i mewn i fwy o syniadau creadigol ar-lein. Buom ni'n gweithio, er enghraifft, gyda chynllun Noson Allan yn y gorffennol ar gyfer cynnal rhai gigs a digwyddiadau, ac efallai fod yna ryw fath o sgôp i ehangu hyn yn rhithiol.
English: Thank you. Efa, on the economic impact, particularly in terms of events.
Welsh: Diolch. Efa, ar yr effaith economaidd, yn enwedig o golli digwyddiadau.
English: Well, there's been no economic impact on us as an institution because of the cancellation of events.
Welsh: Ie, dim impact economaidd ar ein sefydliad ni oherwydd methu mynd i ddigwyddiadau.
English: Thank you. I'll turn now to Carwyn for the next set of questions. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Gwnaf i droi at Carwyn, felly, am y set nesaf o gwestiynau. Diolch.
English: Thank you, Chair. I wanted to ask some questions on restarting activities and what are the challenges. What have been the challenges and what are the challenges in terms of restarting, particularly the impact of trying to maintain activities whilst keeping a social distance? How has that had an impact on your activities? And perhaps if I could ask Efa about Nant Gwrtheyrn and how Nant Gwrtheyrn has particularly been affected as a result of what's happened over the past few months.
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Dwi'n moyn gofyn cwestiynau ynglŷn ag ailddechrau gweithgareddau a beth yw'r heriau. Beth mae'r heriau wedi bod a beth yw'r heriau ynglŷn â gwneud hynny, yn enwedig yr impact o geisio cynnal gweithgareddau a hefyd cadw pellter cymdeithasol? Ym mha ffordd ydy hwnna wedi cael impact ar eich gweithgareddau chi? A falle os gallaf i hefyd ofyn i Efa ynglŷn â Nant Gwrtheyrn ac ym mha ffordd mae Nant Gwrtheyrn wedi gweld gwahaniaeth o achos beth sydd wedi digwydd dros y misoedd diwethaf.
English: Thank you. Tegwen, you mentioned the fact that village halls being closed was an issue for you. Have you been able to hold any face-to-face meetings in terms of your local groups, or has everything had to be online?
Welsh: Diolch. Tegwen, roeddech chi wedi sôn bod, er enghraifft, y neuaddau pentref wedi bod ar gau. Ydych chi wedi llwyddo i gwrdd wyneb yn wyneb o gwbl, y grwpiau lleol, neu ydy popeth wedi gorfod bod ar-lein hyd yn hyn?
English: Important points. Thank you, Bethan. Okay, if I could bring us back to activities as they were. Caryl, have young farmers groups been able to meet in the real world as well as virtually, or have you had to do everything online?
Welsh: Pwyntiau pwysig. Diolch, Bethan. Jest i ddod â ni nôl at weithgareddau fel oedden nhw. Caryl, ydy'r grwpiau ffermwyr ifanc wedi bod yn gallu cwrdd yn y byd iawn yn ogystal â'r rhithiol o gwbl, neu ar-lein ydych chi'n gorfod bod?
English: Thank you. I'm very aware of time. If we do run over by five minutes or so, can the witnesses stay with us? Is that okay? Before we move on to questions on digital from Carwyn, if I could just ask people to be as succinct as they can, both in the questions and the answers. Carwyn.
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi jest yn ymwybodol iawn o amser. Os ydyn ni'n rhedeg drosodd o ryw bum munud neu rywbeth fel yna, ydy'r tystion yn gallu aros gyda ni? Ydy hynny'n iawn? Cyn inni symud ymlaen at gwestiynau ynglŷn â'r maes digidol gan Carwyn nawr, rwy'n jest gofyn i bobl drio bod yn eithaf cryno yn y cwestiynau a'r atebion. Carwyn.
English: Thank you, Chair. So, digital activities - three things to ask. First, how sustainable are they? Secondly, what kind of impact has that had on participation in activities? And what resources have you had to find in order to ensure that you're able to stage events and activities digitally?
Welsh: Diolch, Cadeirydd. Felly, gweithgareddau digidol - tri pheth i'w ofyn. Yn gyntaf, faint mor gynaliadwy ydyn nhw? Yn ail, pa fath o impact sydd wedi bod yn y niferoedd sydd yn chwarae rhan mewn gweithgareddau? A pha adnoddau ydych chi wedi gorfod ffeindio er mwyn sicrhau eich bod chi'n gallu cynnal digwyddiadau a gweithgareddau digidol?
English: I'll start with you, Efa, because you've already mentioned the large increase in the numbers of people looking for online learning opportunities. So, we'll start with you.
Welsh: Fe wnaf i ddechrau gyda chi, Efa, achos rŷch chi wedi bod yn sôn yn barod am gynnydd mawr mewn pobl yn chwilio am gyfleoedd i ddysgu ar-lein. So, fe wnawn ni ddechrau gyda chi.
English: I'm sorry, I'm hearing some background noise here. It's none of the people on my screen, but if I could just ask the technicians to ensure that everyone else who isn't appearing on the screen is muted. Sorry, Efa, do continue.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gen i i dorri ar eich traws chi, ond dwi'n clywed sŵn yn y cefndir gan rywun, ond ddim y bobl sydd ar fy sgrin, so allaf i jest ofyn i'r bobl dechnegol sicrhau bod meics pawb arall sydd ddim ar y sgrin ar mute? Sori, Efa, cariwch ymlaen, os gwelwch yn dda.
English: No, it's okay. The message I was seeking to convey was that digital learning is here to stay, that we need investment in that digital learning, and that I do want to see the budget that we lost at the beginning of the pandemic restored.
Welsh: Na, popeth yn iawn. Y neges dwi eisiau ei throsglwyddo mewn gwirionedd yw bod dysgu digidol yma i aros, bod angen buddsoddi yn y dysgu digidol hwnnw, a fy mod i am weld adfer yn y gyllideb y gwnaethon ni ei cholli ar ddechrau'r pandemig.
English: Thank you. Tegwen, you perhaps have already mentioned this, but I would assume that some of your members weren't people who went into the pandemic with a huge understanding of these technical issues, and I include myself in this because I am captured within that age group, and I'm a member, as it happens. But how have you been able to respond to digital and how has that had an impact on participation?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Tegwen, byddwn i'n tybio - rŷch chi wedi sôn am hyn yn barod - bod rhai o'ch aelodau chi ddim yn bobl a oedd wedi dechrau'r pandemig gyda lot o ddealltwriaeth o'r pethau technegol yma, a dwi'n cynnwys fy hunan achos dwi'n rhan o'r oedran yna, ac yn aelod, fel mae'n digwydd. Sut dŷch chi wedi gallu ymateb i'r byd o weithredu'n ddigidol a sut mae hynny wedi effeithio ar bobl yn cymryd rhan?
English: That would be most useful. Thank you very much, Bethan. We always like to hear specific ideas. Carwyn, do you have additional questions?
Welsh: Byddai hynny'n ddefnyddiol iawn. Diolch yn fawr, Bethan. Dŷn ni wastad yn hoffi cael syniadau penodol. Carwyn, oes cwestiynau ychwanegol gyda chi?
English: No, I'm finished. Thank you, Chair.
Welsh: Na, mae hynny'n iawn. Diolch, Cadeirydd.
English: Well, we've always tried to behave prudently, and, although we're a national organisation, almost all of our staff work part time. We only have six full-time equivalent staff across Wales. So, in terms of funding, if there were to be a further cut in funding, I don't know what the future of our charity would be. But the discussion that we had with the Government at the very outset was very beneficial. We were encouraged to place some of our staff on furlough. We were too busy to do so at the time; we had all of the programmes in place, such as 'phone a friend', and we were very busy in supporting our communities. So, my major concern today, in hearing that those people on furlough will see an additional grant for the next few months, is, well, where does that leave charities such as our own that didn't place their staff on furlough in the first instance? Will there be any support available to charities such as ours or not? And we will, of course, have to wait and see what happens for the future.
Welsh: Rŷn ni bob amser wedi trio torri'r got yn ôl y brethyn, os dywedan nhw, ac, er ein bod ni'n fudiad cenedlaethol, mae'n staff ni bron i gyd yn gweithio'n rhan amser, sy'n gyfatebol efo chwech aelod o staff llawn amser ar draws Cymru. Felly, o ran yr arian, os byddai yna doriad pellach, dwi ddim yn gwybod beth fyddai dyfodol ein mudiad ni, ein helusen ni. Ond roedd y drafodaeth gawson ni gyda'r Llywodraeth reit ar y cychwyn yn fuddiol iawn. Cawson ni ein hannog i roi rhai o'r staff ar ffyrlo. Fethon ni â gwneud hynny achos roedden ni'n rhy brysur ar y pryd; roedd y cynlluniau i gyd yn eu lle - 'ffoniwch ffrind' ac yn y blaen - a buon ni'n eithriadol o brysur yn cefnogi'n cymunedau. Felly, ym mhryder mawr i heddiw, o glywed y cyhoeddiad bydd y bobl hynny sydd ar ffyrlo o bosib yn cael grant ychwanegol, neu nawdd ychwanegol am y misoedd nesaf, ble mae hynny'n gadael elusennau fel ni, wnaeth ddim rhoi'n staff ar ffyrlo yn y lle cyntaf? A fydd yna unrhyw fath o gymorth ar gael i elusennau fel ein rhai ni, neu na fydd? A dyna, mewn ffordd - bydd yn rhaid i ni weld beth sy'n dod i'r dyfodol wedyn.
English: Thank you very much. There are some additional questions, but unfortunately we have run out of time. If our witnesses are agreed, then we will write to you with those few final questions and you can respond in writing. Of course, there's an opportunity for you to cover any points that you haven't been able to cover today, or if there's anything that you want to add - Bethan, you mentioned a few papers that you could share with us - then please do that. But thank you very much for your time today. Of course, we will send you a transcript of the meeting so that you can check it for accuracy, and we appreciate your time this morning. So, thank you very much and goodbye. You're welcome to leave us at this point.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Mae yna gwpwl o gwestiynau ychwanegol, ond yn anffodus rydyn ni wedi rhedeg allan o amser. Os yw hynny'n iawn gyda chi, y tystion, gwnawn ni ysgrifennu atoch chi gyda'r cwpwl o gwestiynau olaf a gallwch chi ddod nôl atom ni. Ac mae hynny wedyn, wrth gwrs, yn gyfle i chi, os oes yna bwyntiau rydych chi heb wedi gallu eu cyfro heddiw, neu os oes yna bethau ychwanegol rydych chi am eu hychwanegu - Bethan, roeddech chi'n cyfeirio at ambell i bapur y gallwch chi rannu gyda ni. So, diolch yn fawr iawn am eich amser heddiw. Byddwn ni, wrth gwrs, yn anfon transcript atoch chi fel eich bod chi'n gallu gweld ein bod ni wedi cofnodi popeth rydych chi wedi ei ddweud yn gywir. Ac rydyn ni'n gwerthfawrogi eich amser chi yn fawr iawn. So, diolch yn fawr a da boch chi. Hwyl fawr. So, dyna ni - croeso ichi ein gadael ni nawr.
English: We move now to item 4, paper to note, a response by the Welsh Government to our report on the impact of COVID on heritage, museums and archives. So, are we content to note that? We can discuss it further in private session, if necessary. Everyone agreed? Yes.
Welsh: Rydyn ni'n symud at eitem 4, papur i'w nodi, sef ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i'r adroddiad ar impact COVID ar dreftadaeth ac archifau. Ydyn ni'n hapus jest i nodi hynny ac rydyn ni'n gallu trafod ymhellach, os oes angen, yn y sesiwn preifat? Iawn.
English: Okay, we move to item 5, and I move a motion under Standing Order 17.42 (ix) to resolve to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting, and that the broadcast ceases. Are Members content? So, I would request that you bring the broadcast to an end.
Welsh: Ocê, rydyn ni'n symud at eitem 5, felly. O dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 (ix) dwi'n cynnig ein bod ni'n gwahardd y cyhoedd o weddill y cyfarfod - hynny yw, bod y darlledu yn dod i ben. Ydy Aelodau yn hapus i wneud hynny? Felly, dwi'n gofyn ichi ddod â'r darlledu i ben.
English: Thank you very much, Chair. Following on from that, you've mentioned the better relationship that you have with the Minister, Greg Hands, but following on from that and Alun Davies and David Rees's questions specifically, could you outline in detail what specific role the Welsh Government had in preparing for and negotiating the UK-Japan agreement in terms of the negotiation process? What input did you have and was the level of engagement provided to the Welsh Government by the UK Government in your view sufficient? So, what specific role did you have in the process and could you influence proceedings?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Cadeirydd. Yn dilyn hynna, rydych chi wedi sôn am y berthynas well sydd gyda chi efo Greg Hands, y Gweinidog, ac yn dilyn ar hynna a chwestiwn Alun Davies yn benodol, ac hefyd David Ress, allwch chi amlinellu'n fanwl pa rôl benodol oedd gennych chi fel Llywodraeth Cymru o ran paratoi ar gyfer y cytundeb yma rhwng y Deyrnas Unedig a Siapan yn nhermau y broses negodi? Hynny yw, pa fewnbwn oedd gyda chi ac oedd lefel yr ymgysylltu a ddarparwyd i Lywodraeth Cymru gan Lywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig, yn eich barn chi, yn ddigonol? Pa ran oedd gyda chi yn benodol yn y broses, hynny yw, ac oeddech chi yn gallu dylanwadu ar bethau?
English: From the very outset in February, we had an opportunity to look at the mandate that the UK had. So, yes, there was an opportunity for us to respond at a very early stage. Negotiations have been ongoing between ourselves and officials in London throughout that negotiation period. They are keeping us in the loop, they are keeping in touch with us. Even those who are at the forefront in terms of the negotiations, they have been engaging with our officials on a regular basis. At the end of the process, when it did appear that a deal had been done, I took a call from the Minister, who informed me exactly what had been delivered through negotiations. So, I do think the process and the fact that we could have an influence at a very early stage - that to us is more important than anything else, because although we have said that we want a seat at the table, the fact is that if you do have that seat at the table, you do have to take the UK position. What's more important is that you influence what is said at the table, and that's why we've focused on that.
Welsh: Reit o'r dechrau ym mis Chwefror, roedd cyfle gyda ni i edrych ar y mandad oedd gyda'r Deyrnas Unedig. Felly, roedd cyfle gyda ni wedyn i ymateb yn gynnar iawn. Mae negodiadau wedi bod yn digwydd rhyngom ni a'r swyddogion yn Llundain trwy gydol yr amser negodi yna. Maen nhw yn ein cadw ni yn y lŵp, maen nhw'n cadw mewn cysylltiad gyda ni. Mae hyd yn oed y bobl sydd ar y blaen o ran y negodi, maen nhw wedi ymgysylltu â'n swyddogion ni yn aml. Ac ar ddiwedd y broses, pan oedd e'n edrych fel bod cytundeb wedi cael ei fwrw, mi ges i alwad gan y Gweinidog i ddweud wrthyf fi yn union beth oedd yn y trafodaethau a oedd wedi cael eu cyflawni. Felly, dwi'n meddwl bod y broses, y ffaith ein bod ni yn gallu dylanwadu'n gynnar iawn yn y broses - mae hwnna i ni yn fwy pwysig nag unrhyw beth arall, achos er ein bod ni wedi dweud y bydden ni'n licio cael sedd wrth y bwrdd, y ffaith yw os ŷch wrth y bwrdd, mae'n rhaid ichi gymryd safbwynt y Deyrnas Unedig. Beth sy'n fwy pwysig yw eich bod chi'n dylanwadu ar beth sy'n cael ei ddweud wrth y bwrdd, a dyna pam rŷn ni wedi canolbwyntio ar hynny tan nawr.
