Pa drafodaethau y mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi'u cael gyda'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder ynghylch dychwelyd yr arian a ddidynnwyd o iawndal Michael O'Brien ac eraill i dalu am fwyd a llety ar ôl cael ei euogfarnu a'i garcharu ar gam?

WQ94347 has been transferred to me to answer and I am therefore replying to both these questions together.

The case of Michael O’Brien is indeed a tragically sad miscarriage of justice. I have every sympathy with those wrongly accused and found guilty of this, and indeed any, crime. I know that addressing the Justice System is a key priority for the new Government in Westminster and we will have extensive discussions with them about the performance of the justice system in forthcoming months.
