English: First, I think I have to go back to my original point and a point that you have acknowledged: local authorities have their own democratic mandate. We can't direct local authorities to do what they want to do with money that they have within their rate support grant. They will have to make their own decisions and make their own priorities. We can't direct them in that area. What we have done is we have provided local authorities with a substantial uplift in their rate support grant and we have given as much as we can within our constraints. I think you're coming from a point that somehow we have a pot of money that we can just dip into and allocate that we haven't already allocated, and I think the finance Minister and the First Minister have explained time and time again on the floor of this Chamber how we have prioritised health and we have prioritised local government. Those two services in particular have had the highest settlements that we've been able to provide, and, within those settlements, those bodies have to make their spending decisions, particularly local authorities that have their own democratic mandate. And of course those choices are difficult; those choices are also difficult for Welsh Government in terms of where we allocate our resources. There are no easy choices. I have met with Swim Wales and I have rehearsed the arguments with Swim Wales. They understand the Welsh Government's position, and of course they're calling for more money, as every organisation that we help and that we fund and that we support is asking for more money. But we can only provide the funding that we can within the envelope that is available to us, and I hope that local authorities and leisure organisations will be able to make the best decisions that they can to protect as many of our leisure facilities as possible.
Welsh: Yn gyntaf, rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i mi fynd yn ôl at fy mhwynt gwreiddiol a phwynt rydych chi wedi'i gydnabod: mae gan awdurdodau lleol eu mandad democrataidd eu hunain. Allwn ni ddim cyfeirio awdurdodau lleol i wneud yr hyn maen nhw eisiau ei wneud gydag arian sydd ganddyn nhw o fewn eu grant cynnal ardrethi. Bydd yn rhaid iddyn nhw wneud eu penderfyniadau eu hunain a gwneud eu blaenoriaethau eu hunain. Allwn ni ddim eu cyfeirio nhw yn y maes hwnnw. Yr hyn rydyn ni wedi'i wneud yw rydyn ni wedi rhoi cynnydd sylweddol i awdurdodau lleol yn eu grant cynnal ardrethi ac rydym ni wedi rhoi cymaint ag y gallwn ni o fewn ein cyfyngiadau. Rwy'n credu eich bod chi'n dod o bwynt bod gennym ni bot o arian rhywsut y gallwn ni ei ddefnyddio a'i ddyrannu nad ydym eisoes wedi'i ddyrannu, ac rwy'n credu bod y Gweinidog cyllid a'r Prif Weinidog wedi egluro droeon ar lawr y Siambr hon sut rydym ni wedi blaenoriaethu iechyd ac rydym ni wedi blaenoriaethu llywodraeth leol. Mae'r ddau wasanaeth hynny yn benodol wedi cael y setliadau uchaf yr ydym ni wedi gallu eu darparu, ac, o fewn y setliadau hynny, mae'n rhaid i'r cyrff hynny wneud eu penderfyniadau gwariant, yn enwedig awdurdodau lleol sydd â'u mandad democrataidd eu hunain. Ac wrth gwrs mae'r dewisiadau hynny'n anodd; mae'r dewisiadau hynny hefyd yn anodd i Lywodraeth Cymru o ran ble rydyn ni'n dyrannu ein hadnoddau. Nid oes unrhyw ddewisiadau hawdd. Rwyf i wedi cwrdd â Nofio Cymru ac rwyf wedi dadlau droeon gyda Nofio Cymru. Maen nhw'n deall safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru, ac wrth gwrs maen nhw'n galw am fwy o arian, gan fod pob sefydliad yr ydym ni'n ei helpu ac yn ei ariannu ac yn ei gefnogi yn gofyn am fwy o arian. Ond allwn ni ond darparu'r cyllid y gallwn ni o fewn yr amlen sydd ar gael i ni, ac rwy'n gobeithio y bydd awdurdodau lleol a sefydliadau hamdden yn gallu gwneud y penderfyniadau gorau y gallan nhw i warchod cymaint o'n cyfleusterau hamdden â phosib.
