Neil Foden: Council boss under pressure over paedophile head

The row threatens to overshadow Plaid Cymru’s annual conference, which began in Cardiff on Friday.

Speaking on Radio Wales Breakfast, ap Iorwerth said: “We don’t know exactly what has gone wrong over the past few decades, potentially, but we need to do whatever it takes.”

Asked if he had confidence in the council leader, ap Iorwerth failed to support him directly, instead saying: “I have confidence, absolutely, that Gwynedd council understands that there’s one job to do here.

“Nothing else is important, and that’s to get to the truth on behalf of all those young people who have suffered at the hands of this paedophile.2

Pressed on whether he would say sorry, he replied: “Everybody involved in any way has to apologise, of course. We don’t really know what it is what the apology is for as yet.”
