Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I apologise for interrupting the Deputy but we like to debate issues. It was reported in the media that the Bill provides for a text system when in fact the system calls claimants to speak to them. Claimants have to be in the country and near a telephone because otherwise they will receive a text message asking them to visit the office. We can debate the issue further on Committee Stage.
