Mark Drakeford: Llywydd, diolch i Gareth Davies am y cwestiynau pellach yna. Rwy'n cytuno ag ef—yn sicr nid yw'n fater o ddadlau gwleidyddol bod angen diwallu anghenion y trigolion lleol hynny. Fel rheol, Llywydd, mae'r gronfa ffyrdd cydnerth yn cymryd ceisiadau gan gynlluniau sy'n bodoli eisoes yn unig, ond yn yr achos hwn, gan fod y bont wedi cael ei dinistrio gan achosion naturiol, gwnaed eithriad fel...
Mark Drakeford: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna, Llywydd. Yn dilyn trafodaethau gyda swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru, gallaf gadarnhau bod y cyngor wedi gwneud cais am gyllid trwy ein cronfa ffyrdd cydnerth i gynorthwyo gydag ailosod y bont.
Mark Drakeford: Wel, Llywydd, diolch i Sam Rowlands am hynna ac rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â'r pwynt y mae'n ei wneud, ac nid addysg uwch yn unig, ond addysg bellach hefyd, ac mae'r gogledd yn arbennig o wyn ei byd, rwy'n credu, o ran ansawdd yr addysg bellach sy'n cael ei darparu i bobl ifanc yn y rhanbarthau hynny. Rydyn ni'n gwybod bod profiad y pandemig yn golygu bod gan hyd yn oed bobl ifanc sydd wedi...
Mark Drakeford: Wel, Llywydd, mae swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd rhan yn ddiweddar mewn cyfres o gyfarfodydd â chyflogwyr mewn gwahanol rannau o Gymru, gan gynnwys yn y gogledd. Ac nid prinder gwaith yw'r stori allan yna, fel y gwyddoch, erbyn hyn, ond prinder gweithwyr. Mae 330,000 yn llai o bobl yn y gweithlu ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig nag yr oedd yn 2016. Ac mae hynny'n golygu bod cyflogwyr yn...
Mark Drakeford: Llywydd, bywiogrwydd parhaus yr economi yn y gogledd-ddwyrain yw'r cymorth gorau un i bobl ifanc sy'n dechrau gweithio yn etholaeth yr Aelod. I'r rhai ymhellach o'r farchnad lafur, mae'r warant i bobl ifanc yn cynnig amrywiaeth o gymorth i baratoi pobl ifanc ar gyfer byd gwaith, a'u gosod ynddo.
