English: Can I just add my voice to those who've said that of course we understand the gravity of the position in Wales? We speak to our health boards and we read the evidence - when we get to see it. We also understand that decisions to control this virus are not easy to make, but it is our duty to hold Government to account when we think that they've made the wrong call, and that is what we are doing. The First Minister's response to Laura Anne Jones's question yesterday was so off-key that it struck me as a sign of the utter weariness within Welsh Government at the moment, and when people are exhausted, they can make mistakes. Now, Alun Davies, you would have us believe that the Welsh Conservatives would cast the entire population of Wales into a lime pit for the sake of a headline. I think you need to consider that accusation, because while it's patently untrue, of course, it's a very risky position for a party of Government to take when it's trying to persuade the people of Wales that that Government deserves respect and trust. Any Government party that puts itself out there as being unwilling to accept that their decisions are open to scrutiny is taking that risk. I recognise the frustration. The Government has tried all manner of ways forward, most of which we have supported, and yet the virus continues to spread. Short of locking us all up until our vaccination appointment comes through, we will not beat it. As we all recognise that we cannot live in that way, we have to live with the virus in a way that balances the risk of infection with our sanity, our livelihoods, the continuing education of our children and the means of creating wealth to keep our public services going. Constituents will accept regulations when they see the connection between action and purpose - keeping everyone safe. There have been decisions that they've accepted ruefully, but in which they believe. But since then we've had the 5 mile rule, the non-essential goods announcement, random closing times, the blanket restrictions when the virus is not behaving uniformly across Wales, and now, of course, the bathos of the ban on alcohol sales, because one glass of cider at lunchtime is apparently potent enough to deprive you of your reason, whereas a glass of lemonade emits some kind of force field that keeps your hands clean and 2m away from your friends. That doesn't sound very scientific to me. Yes, there are people who flout the rules - sometimes deliberately, sometimes not. People are fatigued, as the First Minister has understood whilst he's tried to explain the spread of the disease. But you need to think now about how to tackle two new threats, and those are incredulity and resentment. Now, of course constituents were incredulous about the alcohol ban, not because we're a nation of boozers, but because of the cut-off of the main source of profit to small businesses that have already taken a battering, without scientific justification, whilst presenting another bonanza to the supermarkets. There's been no outbreak of temperance and social distancing as a result - rather a defiant switch to meeting indoors with friends who shouldn't be there, hugger-mugger, and where the sanitiser's going to be the least popular alcohol in the house. Then there's that resentment. The First Minister was clearly irked yesterday by the word 'punishment', and I'm sure he doesn't intend to punish anyone. Let me make that plain. But there's no real acknowledgement of how constituents feel about what they now see as a disconnect between aim, action and achievement. And not just those who've done their best to stick within the rules, even though it's deprived them of the contact that's meant the most to them, but specifically those COVID-compliant hospitality businesses that others have already mentioned today. I know, Minister, in your response you will refer to the financial support. It is certainly appreciated, but as we've already heard, it's not enough, and it's not what these businesses and their clientele believe works now. They want to be able to employ people and trade safely. I just want to take one pub in my region, which was bought by its owners with the husband's redundancy money and a mortgage when his pit closed. It's not a big flashy place, but they've spent money on it, and they of course have made it 100 per cent COVID compliant. It's a local that is popular with its older regulars, many of them living on their own. I think Helen Mary Jones mentioned people in a similar position. They've had one grant, for which they were grateful. They've applied for ERF funding and they're still waiting to hear if they're going to get it. They've asked for discretionary funding from the local council, but Bridgend County Borough Council's reputation for dilatoriness and hoop-jumping requirements for this kind of relief is well known locally. They've used their savings, and now they're closed because you won't let them sell their product. They are not confident that they're going to reopen. And this pub is also their home. So, what happens if the bank forecloses? What's going to happen to this couple in their sixties? This is why I think the balance is wrong here, Minister. We don't want people spreading COVID - of course, we don't - but we don't want them made homeless either. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and if you stay on this particular road, then people are just going to stop listening to you, those NHS beds will keep on filling up and, Lynne, public health will not be protected.
Welsh: A gaf fi ychwanegu fy llais at y rhai sydd wedi dweud ein bod, wrth gwrs, yn deall difrifoldeb y sefyllfa yng Nghymru? Rydym yn siarad â'n byrddau iechyd ac rydym yn darllen y dystiolaeth - pan gawn ei gweld. Deallwn hefyd nad yw penderfyniadau i reoli'r feirws hwn yn hawdd i'w gwneud, ond ein dyletswydd ni yw dwyn y Llywodraeth i gyfrif pan gredwn eu bod wedi gwneud y penderfyniad anghywir, a dyna a wnawn. Roedd ymateb y Prif Weinidog i gwestiwn Laura Anne Jones ddoe mor bell ohoni fel ei fod yn fy nharo fel arwydd o'r lludded yn Llywodraeth Cymru ar hyn o bryd, a phan fydd pobl wedi blino'n lân, gallant wneud camgymeriadau. Nawr, Alun Davies, byddech am i ni gredu y byddai'r Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yn taflu poblogaeth gyfan Cymru i bwll calch er mwyn cael pennawd. Rwy'n credu bod angen i chi ystyried y cyhuddiad hwnnw, oherwydd er ei fod yn amlwg yn anghywir wrth gwrs, mae'n safbwynt peryglus iawn i blaid sy'n Llywodraeth ei arddel pan fo'n ceisio perswadio pobl Cymru fod y Llywodraeth honno'n haeddu parch ac ymddiriedaeth. Mae unrhyw blaid sy'n Llywodraeth sy'n dweud ei bod yn amharod i dderbyn bod eu penderfyniadau'n agored i graffu yn cymryd y risg honno. Rwy'n cydnabod y rhwystredigaeth. Mae'r Llywodraeth wedi rhoi cynnig ar bob math o ffyrdd ymlaen, a'r rhan fwyaf ohonynt wedi cael cefnogaeth, ac eto mae'r feirws yn parhau i ledaenu. Heb roi pob un ohonom dan glo hyd nes y daw ein hapwyntiad brechu drwodd, ni fyddwn yn ei guro. Gan ein bod i gyd yn cydnabod na allwn fyw yn y ffordd honno, rhaid inni fyw gyda'r feirws mewn ffordd sy'n cydbwyso'r risg o haint gyda'n hiechyd meddwl, ein bywoliaeth, addysg barhaus ein plant a'r modd o greu cyfoeth i gadw ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus i fynd. Bydd etholwyr yn derbyn rheoliadau pan welant y cysylltiad rhwng gweithredu a diben - cadw pawb yn ddiogel. Cafwyd penderfyniadau y maent wedi'u derbyn yn ddigalon, ond y maent yn credu ynddynt. Ond ers hynny cawsom y rheol 5 milltir, y cyhoeddiad am nwyddau nad ydynt yn hanfodol, amseroedd cau ar hap, y cyfyngiadau cyffredinol pan nad yw'r feirws yn ymddwyn yn yr un ffordd ledled Cymru, ac yn awr, wrth gwrs, hurtrwydd y gwaharddiad ar werthu alcohol, oherwydd mae'n debyg fod un gwydraid o seidr amser cinio yn ddigon grymus i'ch amddifadu o'ch pwyll, tra bod gwydraid o lemonêd yn creu rhyw fath o faes grym sy'n cadw eich dwylo'n lân a 2m oddi wrth eich ffrindiau. Nid yw hynny'n swnio'n wyddonol iawn i mi. Oes, mae yna bobl sy'n diystyru'r rheolau - weithiau'n fwriadol, weithiau ddim. Mae pobl wedi blino, fel y mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi deall wrth iddo geisio egluro lledaeniad y clefyd. Ond mae angen i chi feddwl nawr sut i fynd i'r afael â dau fygythiad newydd, sef anghrediniaeth a drwgdeimlad. Nawr, wrth gwrs, roedd etholwyr yn anghrediniol ynglŷn â'r gwaharddiad ar alcohol, nid am ein bod yn genedl o yfwyr, ond oherwydd bod y brif ffynhonnell elw wedi'i thorri i fusnesau bach sydd eisoes wedi cael eu taro, a hynny heb gyfiawnhad gwyddonol, tra'n gwobrwyo'r archfarchnadoedd unwaith eto. Ni welwyd pwl o sobreiddiwch a chadw pellter cymdeithasol o ganlyniad - yn hytrach, cafwyd newid herfeiddiol braidd i gyfarfod dan do â ffrindiau na ddylent fod yno, driphlith-draphlith, a'r alcohol lleiaf poblogaidd yn y tŷ fydd y glanweithydd. Yna ceir y drwgdeimlad. Mae'n amlwg fod y gair 'cosb' wedi peri anifyrrwch i'r Prif Weinidog ddoe, ac rwy'n siŵr nad yw'n bwriadu cosbi neb. Gadewch imi wneud hynny'n glir. Ond ni cheir cydnabyddiaeth wirioneddol i sut y mae etholwyr yn teimlo am yr hyn y maent bellach yn ei weld fel datgysylltiad rhwng nod, gweithrediad a chyflawniad. Ac nid dim ond y rhai sydd wedi gwneud eu gorau i ddilyn y rheolau, er eu bod wedi'u hamddifadu o'r cyswllt sydd wedi golygu cymaint iddynt, ond yn benodol y busnesau lletygarwch sy'n cydymffurfio â mesurau COVID y mae eraill eisoes wedi sôn amdanynt heddiw. Weinidog, gwn y byddwch yn cyfeirio at y cymorth ariannol yn eich ymateb. Mae'n sicr yn cael ei werthfawrogi, ond fel y clywsom eisoes, nid yw'n ddigon, ac nid dyna beth y mae'r busnesau hyn a'u cleientiaid yn credu sy'n gweithio nawr. Maent am allu cyflogi pobl a masnachu'n ddiogel. Rwyf am sôn am un dafarn yn fy rhanbarth, tafarn a brynwyd gan ei pherchnogion gydag arian diswyddo'r gŵr a morgais pan gaeodd ei bwll glo. Nid yw'n lle mawr crand, ond maent wedi gwario arian arno, ac wrth gwrs maent wedi sicrhau ei fod yn cydymffurfio â mesurau COVID 100 y cant. Mae'n dafarn leol sy'n boblogaidd gyda'i mynychwyr rheolaidd hŷn, a llawer ohonynt yn byw ar eu pennau eu hunain. Credaf fod Helen Mary Jones wedi sôn am bobl mewn sefyllfa debyg. Maent wedi cael un grant, ac roeddent yn ddiolchgar amdano. Maent wedi gwneud cais am gyllid y gronfa cadernid economaidd ac maent yn dal i aros i glywed a ydynt yn mynd i'w gael. Maent wedi gofyn am gyllid dewisol gan y cyngor lleol, ond mae enw gan Gyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn lleol am fod yn hwyrfrydig ac am eu gofynion rhwystrol ar gyfer y math hwn o ryddhad. Maent wedi defnyddio eu cynilion, a nawr maent ar gau am nad ydych chi'n gadael iddynt werthu eu cynnyrch. Nid ydynt yn hyderus eu bod yn mynd i ailagor. A'r dafarn hon yw eu cartref hefyd. Felly, beth sy'n digwydd os bydd y banc yn blaen-gau? Beth sy'n mynd i ddigwydd i'r pâr hwn yn eu chwedegau? Dyna pam y credaf fod y cydbwysedd yn anghywir yma, Weinidog. Nid ydym eisiau i bobl ledaenu COVID - wrth gwrs nad ydym - ond nid ydym eisiau iddynt gael eu gwneud yn ddigartref chwaith. Llawn yw uffern o fwriadau da, ac os arhoswch gyda hyn, mae pobl yn mynd i roi'r gorau i wrando arnoch, bydd y gwelyau GIG yn parhau i lenwi a, Lynne, ni fydd iechyd y cyhoedd yn cael ei ddiogelu.
