P-04-541 Support for the Mentrau Iaith (Language Initiatives)
We call on the Assembly to ask the Welsh
Government:
to congratulate the Mentrau Iaith for
their innovative work in promoting the use of the Welsh language across Wales;
to confirm that the Mentrau are a key
partner for the Government in the context of implementing its Welsh-language
strategy;
to provide a prompt response to Cardiff
Universitys survey of the Mentraur work, ensuring that the funding
that is given to them is a fair reflection of the scale of the task that they
face while accepting that the amount of money that is available to them
needs to be increased substantially;
to accept that there is a need for
consistency between the Mentrau in terms of funding and that the current
inconsistency needs to be addressed;
to fund Mentrau Iaith Cymru fairly,
ensuring that it can play a full role in co-ordinating the work of the Mentrau
and providing them with assistance and guidance;
to ensure that the Welsh-language
standards compel Welsh local authorities to support the work of the Mentrau and
to ensure that the authorities work closely with the Mentrau;
to play a full role in providing
strategic guidance in the context of community planning.
