Would the First Minister acknowledge the continual importance of the Urdd eisteddfodau to the Welsh language, and would he therefore congratulate those people who organise these events and are fundraising for the Bridgend Urdd Eisteddfod in May and June of this year on the Pen-coed college site? This work is undertaken by many volunteers who help to maintain the language amongst our young people and in some of the communities where the Welsh language isn’t perhaps the first language. Of course, I’m sure you will be warmly welcomed in the Green Hall in Cefn Cribwr this Friday to enjoy the ‘twmpath dawns’, or the ceilidh, and to fundraise too.
