“Ní minic saothair theicniúla ar liostaí den chineál seo ach seo sárfhoilseachán arbh fhiú mionstaidéar a dhéanamh air. Téacsleabhar toirtiúil é (18 caibidil + aguisíní) a mhíníonn seasamh oifigiúil na Gaeilge faoin mBunreacht go cuimsitheach. Déantar breithiúnais agus cinntí cúirte a mheá go tomhaiste freisin agus baintear brí as fasaigh ar shlí shothuigthe agus iontaofa. Is éachtach an lear eolais agus anailíse atá curtha i ndiaidh a chéile go stuama soiléir ag Dáithí Mac Cárthaigh i bpáirt leis an eagarthóir comhairleach, Séamus Ó Tuathail AS.” — Dónall Ó Braonáin, Tuairisc.ie
