No, I’d like to make some progress, if I can—there are lots of points I want to cover in a short period of time.

There are some genuine concerns in the village of Llangennech about the way this has been implemented. For Simon Thomas to say that there’s no room to question the decision I think is wrong headed. The process he set out is an incomplete one, because the one thing we’re missing from here is that there was genuine concern among parents, who have put generations of their children through a dual-stream school in the village and are deeply committed to the future of the Welsh language, who felt that the decision was being done to them. Although, yes, it had gone through the formal structures of the council, to the community it had not been openly discussed. I can give you—. You say that the community council discussed it—yes it did, as a political body.

I can give you a personal experience of having gone to the school of Llangennech as a prospective parent some 18 months ago to have a look around and not once—not once—was it mentioned to me by the teachers of that school that there was a plan to turn Llangennech into a Welsh-medium school. So, this was not done in the most open and transparent way and I think we should learn the lesson from that, because I genuinely do want us to achieve this policy and I genuinely do want to remove any rancour and tension from the debate, because I do not think it is helpful.
