Yn dilyn y tân yn nho Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru ar 26 Ebrill, cytunais i roi’r diweddaraf i’r aelodau pan fyddai unrhyw wybodaeth newydd ar gael. Hoffwn ddechrau trwy bwysleisio unwaith yn rhagor werthfawrogiad Llywodraeth Cymru o broffesiynoldeb ac ymrwymiad staff y Llyfrgell, a hefyd yr holl unigolion a sefydliadau sy’n parhau i gydweithio i gynnal rôl hanfodol y Llyfrgell i ddiogelu treftadaeth gyfoethog ein cenedl. Ailgydiwyd yn y gwasanaethau arferol i’r cyhoedd a’r gwaith mewnol arferol ar 30 Ebrill ac mae’r sefyllfa yma wedi cael ei chynnal.  Ymwelais â’r Llyfrgell ar 2 Mai a gwelais â’m llygaid fy hun y gwaith aruthrol a gwblhawyd mewn amser byr iawn.
Following the fire on the roof on the National Library of Wales on 26 April, I agreed to keep members updated on the situation as further information became available. I would like to begin by reiterating the Welsh Government’s appreciation of the professionalism and commitment of the staff of the Library and all those individuals and organisations who are continuing to work together to maintain the Library’s vital role in safeguarding the rich heritage of our nation. Normal service to the public and internal business functions were resumed on 30 April and this position has been maintained to date. I visited the Library on 2 May and saw for myself the tremendous amount of work which had been completed in a very short space of time.
