Fy nghyfrifoldeb i yn awr yw penderfynu ar y camau nesaf. Ar sail y cyngor yr wyf i wedi’i dderbyn, rwyf wedi dod i’r casgliad bod rhaid parhau â’r moratoriwm hwn ar weithrediadau’r Gronfa. Oherwydd yr ansicrwydd parhaus y mae hyn yn ei achosi, ynghyd â’r pryderon ynghylch canlyniadau dechreuol y gwahanol ymchwiliadau, rwyf wedi colli hyder yn RIFW fel cyfrwng effeithiol ar gyfer dyrannu cyllid adfywio ac mae gen i amheuon mawr ynghylch dyfodol y Gronfa. O ganlyniad, yr wyf wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion ddechrau trafodaethau brys gydag Amber i weld pa opsiynau allai sicrhau bod modd neilltuo cyllid adfywio yn brydlon i brosiectau dichonadwy sydd eisoes wedi’u cymeradwyo gan RIFW er gwaethaf y moratoriwm sydd ar y Gronfa dan ei chyfansoddiad presennol.
My responsibility now is to determine immediate next steps.  Based on the advice I have received I have concluded that the current moratorium on the operations of the Fund must remain in place.  The continuing uncertainty this generates, together with the concerns raised by the emerging results of the various investigations, has damaged my confidence in RIFW as an effective conduit for regeneration finance and raises serious questions as to its future viability.  I have therefore instructed my officials to enter into urgent discussions with Amber to identify what options may exist to ensure that public regeneration funds can be channelled to viable projects in the RIFW pipeline in a timely manner, notwithstanding the moratorium that must remain in place on the Fund as it is currently constituted.
