A strong Swansea contingent was among the crowd that welcomed Plaid Cymru's new leader to Neath Town Hall on the last day of July.

 

Rhun ap Iorwerth, the Senedd Cymru Member for Anglesey, took a question and answer session for an hour and a half - and created an excellent impression on his audience.

 

Rhun underlined the important role that younger people could play in leading Wales towards independence.  This was the first public meeting he has taken in South-west Wales since his election as party leader.

 

The meeting also heard contributions by Sioned Williams, Senedd Member for South-west Wales Cymru and by Alun Llewellyn, Ystalyfera, Deputy Leader of Neath Port Talbot County Council.

 

Aeth nifer sylweddol o bobl Abertawe i Neuadd y Dre Castell Nedd i gwrdd ag arweinydd newydd Plaid Cymru ar noson olaf mis Gorffennaf

 

Bu Rhun ap Iorwerth, Aelod Senedd Cymru dros Ynys Môn, yn ateb cwestiynau am sesiwn awr a hanner - ac yn llwyddo creu argraff dda iawn ar ei gynulleidfa.

 

Pwysleisiodd Rhun y rôl bwysig y gallai pobl ifanc chwarae wrth arwain Cymru tuag at annibyniaeth.  Dyma'r cyfarfod cyhoeddus cyntaf iddo yn Ne Orllewin Cymru ers ei ddewis yn arweinydd newydd y Blaid.

 

Clywodd y dorf gyfraniadau hefyd gan Sioned Williams, Aelod De Orllewin Cymru o Senedd Cymru ac Alun Llewellyn, Ystalyfera, Dirprwy Arweinydd Cyngor Sir Castell Nedd Porth Talbot.
