Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:37 pm on 7 February 2017.
Can the Cabinet Secretary confirm that he has received correspondence from TG4, which is an Irish television channel, arguing that there will be an economic benefit and a cultural and linguistic benefit accruing from this project, on the basis of their experience in Galway, and that he’s also seen evidence from companies outwith Wales—and, in fact, outwith the United Kingdom—that would be interested in relocating to Yr Egin when it is built? And, finally, can he confirm that the University of Wales Trinity Saint David has offered terms and conditions that would mean that there wouldn’t be a continuous grant—that is, they would actually take it as a loan that would be completely repaid, which would then mean that we have a project here that would directly create 200 jobs, and indirectly 650 jobs, without a penny of cost at the end of the day for Welsh Government? If that doesn’t represent value for money, it’s very difficult to think of anything else that would.
