Éamon Ó Cuív: Tagraím do na moltaí atá ag Conradh na Gaeilge maidir le fógraíocht. Bhí rialachán nó ionstram reachtúil chuid mhaith réitithe i bhfad ó shin nuair a tógadh isteach an t-ionstram reachtúil maidir le comharthaíocht agus d'oibrigh an t-ionstram sin go ginearálta.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: Final Report of the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response: Discussion (4 Nov 2020)

Éamon Ó Cuív: First, it was a mistake not to make the bi-weekly payment optional. In most post offices it would not create an issue if people needed to get the payment bi-weekly.
