"cywilyddus" in context

Yn anffodus, y brif wers yr ydym ni wedi'i dysgu dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf ydy bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru atgasedd parhaus o atebolrwydd, ac mae hanes cywilyddus y pwyllgor yma yn dyst i hynny.

Unfortunately, the main lesson that we have learnt over the past few years is that the Welsh Government has an ongoing hatred of accountability, and the disgraceful history of the committee is testament to that.
