English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you, Minister, for updating us here today. I've got a few points and questions to raise in respect of your statement today, the review, and some wider issues as well. In your statement you're right to recognise the role of sporting success to unite and excite the nation, and the review also rightly acknowledges the role Sport Wales has played in supporting and nurturing our elite athletes and helping us bring home medal successes. Of course, we should want to and should build on this, but Sport Wales also needs to reach out across communities and across the country, as we've been discussing today. I think it's really important to make sure we've got that equity of support and opportunity to access services, as well as investment, not simply in and around the capital and south Wales. Many people in my area will often have difficulty accessing those opportunities in Cardiff, just because of the geographic distance; you're not going to travel three and a half hours for a one-hour training session or whatever, and there are obviously cost barriers involved with that. I know it's relatively easy to travel to access facilities in the north-west of England, but I think there are opportunities to look at how we can develop those services that are already there in north-east Wales, and perhaps, further down the line, to see further investment to enable opportunities and to support younger people in particular in the region. Minister, the review refers to Sport Wales - . I welcome the comments today in terms of looking at delivery on a more regional basis, and I hope that those concerns could be taken on board as part of that. The review refers to a sport north Wales initiative, and how plans are currently on hold. I wonder if there's any update on that and, obviously, if you agree with me that we need to make sure we ensure that equity of opportunity across the nation. I'm also pleased to a see a strong emphasis on partnership working between local government, the third sector, and education facilities, particularly including greater links with schools, and I know, in a previous response, you said about how we invest in schools and encourage collaboration. I'm aware that there's sometimes some understandable trepidation on the part of schools in terms of opening up their facilities to the community. I wonder what role there is for Sport Wales or other similar bodies in acting as a facilitator to actually address any of those issues, and if we can find ways to share best practice when it has been successful and where, ultimately, it could be in the schools' interest if they're able to raise revenue from opening up their facilities as well. Last but by absolutely no means least, Rhun ap Iorwerth touched on the issue of gender equality in sport, and I think I want to really raise and emphasise today the role Sport Wales and other national sporting bodies across the piece in Wales should be playing in both getting more women involved in sport, but also giving equal recognition, treatment, and parity of support for women's sport in Wales. We need to be clear, over and over again, that sport is not just for the boys, and elite sport is not just about the men's teams. Whilst I recognise there have been multiple drives and campaigns to get more girls and women active and involved in sport, they are always going to have a limited effectiveness if we don't have that visibility to aspire to on the public stage. Young girls can't aspire to be national rugby players for Wales or to be elite footballers if they haven't got - you know, they can't see that that is an aspiration that they themselves could reach one day. It's 2017 and I'm sure you'll agree, Minister, that action is needed to deal with this, and what action can be taken to make sure that we provide a platform, a better platform, for women, and better support for women's sport in Wales?
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch, Weinidog, am roi'r newyddion diweddaraf i ni heddiw. Mae gennyf ychydig o bwyntiau a chwestiynau i'w codi mewn cysylltiad â'ch datganiad heddiw, yr adolygiad, a rhai materion ehangach hefyd. Yn eich datganiad, rydych chi'n iawn i gydnabod swyddogaeth llwyddiant chwaraeon i uno a chyffroi'r genedl, ac mae'r adolygiad hefyd yn cydnabod y rhan y mae Chwaraeon Cymru wedi'i chwarae wrth gefnogi a meithrin ein hyfforddeion elitaidd a'n helpu ni i ddod â llwyddiannau medal yn ôl adref. Wrth gwrs, dylem fod yn awyddus i adeiladu a dylem adeiladu ar hyn. Ond mae angen i Chwaraeon Cymru hefyd gyrraedd cymunedau ledled y wlad, fel yr ydym wedi bod yn trafod heddiw. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig iawn sicrhau ein bod ni'n cael y cymorth a'r cyfle hwnnw i gael mynediad at wasanaethau, yn ogystal â buddsoddi, nid yn unig yn y brifddinas a'r de. Yn aml, bydd llawer o bobl yn fy ardal i yn cael anhawster i gael mynediad at y cyfleoedd hynny sydd yng Nghaerdydd, nid dim ond oherwydd y pellter daearyddol; nid ydych yn mynd i deithio tair awr a hanner am sesiwn hyfforddi o awr neu beth bynnag, ac mae rhwystrau cost amlwg yn gysylltiedig â hynny. Gwn ei bod yn eithaf hawdd teithio i gael manteisio ar gyfleusterau yng ngogledd orllewin Lloegr, ond credaf fod cyfleoedd i edrych ar sut y gallwn ddatblygu'r gwasanaethau hynny sydd eisoes yn y gogledd-ddwyrain, ac efallai, ymhellach ymlaen, i weld buddsoddiad pellach i alluogi cyfleoedd a chefnogi pobl iau yn arbennig yn y rhanbarth. Weinidog, mae'r adolygiad yn cyfeirio at Chwaraeon Cymru - . Croesawaf y sylwadau heddiw o ran edrych ar y ddarpariaeth yn y rhanbarthau, a gobeithio y gellid ystyried y pryderon hynny yn rhan o hynny. Mae'r adolygiad yn cyfeirio at fenter chwaraeon yn y gogledd, a sut mae'r cynlluniau wedi'u gohirio ar hyn o bryd. Tybed a oes unrhyw ddiweddariad ar hynny ac, yn amlwg, os ydych chi'n cytuno â mi fod angen inni sicrhau cyfle cyfartal ar draws y wlad. Rwyf hefyd yn falch o weld pwyslais cryf ar weithio mewn partneriaeth rhwng llywodraeth leol, y trydydd sector, a chyfleusterau addysg, yn enwedig gan gynnwys mwy o gysylltiadau ag ysgolion. Gwn ichi ddweud, mewn ymateb blaenorol, sut yr ydym yn buddsoddi mewn ysgolion ac yn annog cydweithredu. Rwy'n ymwybodol bod rhywfaint o anesmwythyd dealladwy weithiau ar ran ysgolion o ran agor eu cyfleusterau i'r gymuned. Tybed pa swyddogaeth sydd ar gael i Chwaraeon Cymru neu gyrff tebyg eraill wrth weithredu fel hwylusydd i fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw un o'r materion hynny mewn gwirionedd. A tybed a allwn ni ddod o hyd i ffyrdd o rannu arfer gorau pan fo hynny'n llwyddiannus a lle, yn y pen draw, y gallai fod o fudd i ysgolion os gallant godi refeniw o agor eu cyfleusterau hefyd. Yn olaf, ond nid yn lleiaf o bell ffordd, crybwyllodd Rhun ap Iorwerth fater cydraddoldeb rhywiol mewn chwaraeon, a chredaf fy mod yn dymuno codi a phwysleisio heddiw y rhan sydd gan Chwaraeon Cymru a chyrff chwaraeon cenedlaethol eraill yng Nghymru i sicrhau bod mwy o ferched yn cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon, ond hefyd roi cydnabyddiaeth, triniaeth, a chydraddoldeb cefnogaeth gyfartal i chwaraeon menywod yng Nghymru. Mae angen inni fod yn glir, drosodd a throsodd, nad ar gyfer bechgyn yn unig y mae chwaraeon, ac nid yw chwaraeon elitaidd yn ymwneud â thimau dynion yn unig. Er fy mod yn cydnabod bod llu o fentrau ac ymgyrchoedd i gael mwy o ferched a menywod yn egnïol ac yn cymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon, cyfyng fydd effaith hyn os nad oes gennym y gwelededd hwnnw i anelu ato ar y cam cyhoeddus. Ni all merched ifanc anelu i fod yn chwaraewyr rygbi cenedlaethol i Gymru neu fod yn chwaraewyr pêl-droed elitaidd os nad oes ganddyn nhw - chi'n gwybod, os na allan nhw weld bod hynny'n ddyhead cyraeddadwy iddyn nhw un dydd. Mae'n 2017 ac rwy'n siŵr y cytunwch, Weinidog, fod angen cymryd camau i fynd i'r afael â hyn. Pa gamau y gellir eu cymryd i sicrhau ein bod yn darparu llwyfan, llwyfan gwell, i fenywod, a gwell cefnogaeth i chwaraeon menywod yng Nghymru?
