Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has written to Alun Ffred Jones congratulating him on his appointment as the new Heritage Minister. Speaking on behalf of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, Dafydd Morgan Lewis said,"We wish Alun Ffred Jones well in his new job. Our feeling at the moment is that the Welsh Assembly Government is still on trial as far as its commitment to the Welsh language is concerned.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith have hit out at the pressure which CarmarthenshireCounty Council have exerted on Ysgol Carreg Hirfaen which is a 3-sitefederation. By changing the funding formula to discriminate againstsmaller schools , and by removing the allowance for federations, theCouncil are trying to force the Governors to close two of the sites inthe small villages of Llanycrwys and Ffarmers.

Steffan Cravos, Cymdeithas yr Iaith's Entertainment Officer, recently announced on C2 Radio Cymru the full list of bands playing at Cymdeithas yr Iaith's gigs during the National Eisteddfod Week in Cardiff this year. Two gigs per night will run from Saturday 2nd of August to Saturday August 9th, and all of the gigs are being held at Clwb Ifor Bach, Womanby Street, Cardiff.

Cymdeithas yr Iaith have welcomed the statement made by Councillor Liz Saville (the cabinet member that holds the education portfolio) that the old school re-organisation plan has come to an end and there are no longer any schools on the list of closure, nor are there any plans to enforce change on other schools.
