Synagogue in Merthyr Tydfil praised in Senedd

Extract from exchange following a statement by the Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism on engaging communities with heritage.

Darren Millar MS 17:41:58

...I appreciate that there's only so much money that can go around, but, certainly, there are some very unique faith heritage buildings that have been at risk over the years—I can think of one in your own constituency, for example, which, I'm delighted, now has its future safeguarded, the synagogue in Merthyr Tydfil.

Dawn Bowden MS 17:44:48

...You referenced the synagogue in Merthyr Tydfil, which is going to be absolutely amazing, but what has happened is somebody has got hold of that building and they have worked tirelessly to get funding for it, so Welsh Government have contributed, but there are private investors, Cadw is involved and we will end up with a national Jewish heritage centre on that site for the whole of Wales. It will be absolutely fantastic.
