Over the past few days, the Iris Prize film festival has been staged here in Cardiff. It represents the largest gay film prize in the world, and the largest short film prize awarded anywhere. So, may I ask the First Minister to congratulate those people who arranged that event and the volunteers for their success? I declare an interest because I was there for most of the festival and it is being staged by a friend of mine. But can I ask you what more we can do to help the Iris festival to extend its message of pride across Wales, as we heard earlier, and particularly thinking of Welsh speakers, where there is some work to be done, I think, in bringing together this question of pride in one’s sexuality and pride in one’s language and culture?
