This has been an incredibly difficult year, as many have said, and Governments across the globe have introduced restrictions that they would never have wanted to introduce. People have made huge sacrifices in their daily lives, but, sadly, people have passed away, and I think it is right that the Government's put public health and our residents' needs at the forefront of their mind.

Llywydd, I'm always frank in this Senedd, and I always I speak up for my community, and it is in that spirit today that I support the steps of the Welsh Government and the steps they have taken, but I also seek the adoption of a regional Welsh approach as soon as it is safe to do so. The facts on the ground in north and south Wales should be paramount and, where those facts support a variance of approach, we should allow it.

Llywydd, I won't take up too much time, because I know many other Members wish to speak in this very important debate today, and this is the last chance I will get to address the Senedd this year, as tomorrow I'll be attending the funeral of my beloved grandad. So, I want to take this opportunity, if I may, Llywydd, to say thank you to the residents of Alyn and Deeside. You have been nothing short of superb, and the steps you have taken to slow the spread of the virus have saved lives. So, from me, please stick with us as we look forward to a better future. Diolch yn fawr.
