:05:25. > :05:29.on underprivileged pupils but the bargain was signed by Plaid Cymru

:19:21. > :19:24.policing huge events. Especially on the sporting field. Over the next
:19:24. > :19:29.few years, the police will have to do this as well as their day-to-day

:19:41. > :19:46.officer and a lawyer. Politics should be kept out of policing. We
:19:46. > :19:52.know that if -- we know there is politics in life but there is place
:19:52. > :19:55.for politics. That is in Parliament, in Westminster, in local borough
:19:55. > :20:03.council halls or the Welsh Assembly government, not in the police
:20:03. > :20:09.service. The other independent candidate is Tony Verderame. That
:20:09. > :20:14.money needs to be spent to co- ordinate before the crime is
:20:14. > :20:20.committed. This is my philosophy. This is the prudent way and
:20:20. > :20:29.intelligent way to spend the money. The former MP and Home Office
:20:29. > :20:34.Minister Alun Michael is standing for the Labour Party. I thought I
:20:34. > :20:39.could carry on being MP for the next few years, but I thought that
:20:39. > :20:46.this is too important. With local support I decided to do something

:22:13. > :22:19.been working hard to make sure we have the support. These young lads
:22:19. > :22:24.are between 16 and 28, so I hope they will be playing together for a
:22:24. > :22:31.while. The structure is there for the game to grow at this level.
:22:31. > :22:37.More work has to be done to catch up with countries like Northern
:22:37. > :22:43.Ireland. It is nice to see a Wales team playing locally. Everybody
:22:43. > :22:47.should have the opportunity if they enjoy it. The best of luck to them.
