A name in vain?

PERHAPS our esteemed Minister for the Gaeltacht, Eamon Ó Cuiv, should resume his own surname as Gaeilge before making historically embarrassing, and mistaken, corrections in the Kerry Gaeltacht.

Since there is no letter ‘v’ in the Irish alphabet, Eamon (or Éamonn?) should resume the proud surname Ó Caoimh prior to making any other as Gaeilge pronouncements ex-cathedra.
