English: I'm very grateful for your appreciation of what we have been attempting to do. It's a very difficult situation here, Deputy Chair: do I look at the Member and reply to her, or do I look to you? I don't want to be declared out of order. [ Laughter.] As you mentioned, the investment that we've already made is an indication of our support for activities in Merthyr. I have visited Cyfarthfa on a number of occasions, and I think the whole Cyfarthfa Park development and, indeed, the development of the building on the site are key to our approach. The Crucible report was an essential catalyst and, of course, we have to look to the way in which we deliver at least part of the £50 million that has been earmarked - not earmarked, proposed, as necessary to transform Merthyr into a tourism destination. But what is key to this, now, is the role of Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, and I'm very grateful to them for commissioning the feasibility study into the project relating to Cyfarthfa, the link with the furnaces and the viaduct across the River Taf. And I must say again - and I don't want to get into an argument with colleagues in the other kinds of heritage - but I thought that the remains of the amazing furnaces were as redolent of our heritage as any castle I have seen anywhere, north or south. So, we need to make sure that the links between Merthyr and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, and also the link through to the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, are developed as part of an experience of celebrating our industrial heritage that will rival the experience of our colonial heritage.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar eich bod yn gwerthfawrogi'r hyn y buom yn ceisio ei wneud. Mae'n sefyllfa anodd iawn yma, Ddirprwy Gadeirydd: a ddylwn edrych ar yr Aelod ac ymateb iddi hi, neu a ddylwn edrych arnoch chi? Nid wyf am fynd yn groes i'r drefn. [ Chwerthin.] Fel y dywedoch chi, mae'r buddsoddiad rydym eisoes wedi'i wneud yn arwydd o'n cefnogaeth i weithgareddau ym Merthyr Tudful. Rwyf wedi ymweld â Chyfarthfa ar sawl achlysur, a chredaf fod datblygiad Parc Cyfarthfa i gyd, ac yn wir, datblygiad yr adeilad ar y safle yn allweddol i'n hymagwedd. Roedd adroddiad Crucible yn gatalydd hanfodol, ac wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid i ni edrych ar y ffordd rydym yn darparu o leiaf ran o'r £50 miliwn sydd wedi'i glustnodi - nid ei glustnodi, ei gynnig, fel rhywbeth sy'n angenrheidiol er mwyn trawsnewid Merthyr Tudful yn gyrchfan twristiaeth. Ond yr hyn sy'n allweddol i hyn yn awr yw rôl Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn iddynt am gomisiynu'r astudiaeth ddichonoldeb o'r prosiect sy'n ymwneud â Chyfarthfa, y cysylltiad â'r ffwrneisi a'r draphont dros Afon Taf. Ac mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud eto - ac nid wyf am fynd i ddadlau â chyd-Aelodau ynglŷn â'r mathau eraill o dreftadaeth - ond roeddwn o'r farn fod olion y ffwrneisi anhygoel yn atgof cystal o'n treftadaeth ddiwydiannol ag unrhyw gastell a welais yn unman, yn y gogledd neu'r de. Felly, mae angen inni sicrhau bod y cysylltiadau rhwng Merthyr Tudful a Safle Treftadaeth y Byd Blaenafon, yn ogystal â'r cysylltiad ag Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau yn Abertawe, yn cael eu datblygu fel rhan o brofiad o ddathlu ein treftadaeth ddiwydiannol a fydd yn cystadlu â'r profiad o'n treftadaeth drefedigaethol.
