Seanad: Bille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla (Leasú), 2019: An Dara Céim - Official Languages (Amendment) Bill 2019: Second Stage (10 Nov 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: ...áil chuig an iar-Aire Stáit, mo chara, an Seanadóir Kyne, as an obair a rinne sé chun an Bille seo a shocrú, ach go mór mór gabhaim buíochas leis as an obair rinne sé ar son na teanga agus as an tacaíocht a thug sé do na ceantair Ghaeltachta. Senator Murphy and I probably share many similarities, one of which is that I would love to be...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Mr. Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: ...and loved. I had the pleasure of working alongside his daughter and his son who travelled the country with him, ag scríobh na notes agus gach rud mar gheall ar an gcluiche. Their love, their interest and their comhrá epitomised what this man stands for. It is not the grand plan, it is not the overarching vision. It is an Gaeilge a úsáid gach lá, mar a...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Feb 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: ...óir, níl sé marbh, tá sé beo fós agus beidh sé beo le blianta fada ó shin. Fear macánta, uasal agus an-cairdiúil atá ann. Fear an-gnóthach ar son an teanga agus an cultúr, a man who brought great passion and dedication to the promotion of the Irish language and our culture agus beidh stráitéis Gaeilge an seachtain...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ..., Mac Lochlainn and Norris all raised the issue of the talks in the North today and the importance of Acht na Gaeilge. Those of us who are republicans in this House recognise the importance of an Irish language Act. While I cannot speak for the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, it is important that we would have an Irish language Act in the North of our country. It should be...

Seanad: Order of Business (28 Jun 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ...the banks work with them. I am very anxious, therefore, to ensure the Bill will not vanish today and implore all Members to support Senator David Norris. Senator Pádraig Mac Lochlainn referred to the Irish language Act, an issue I have addressed, as well as the very important report of the expert panel on concrete blocks. I have asked the Minister responsible to come to the House...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jun 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ...the matter of Roinn na Gaeltachta and daoine na Gaeltachta. Déanaim mo chomhghairdeachas leis an Aire Stáit, Teachta Seosamh McHugh, ar an bpost. What the Taoiseach has done is quite innovative regarding the Irish language. He has appointed a Minister for Irish and Irish affairs to sit at Cabinet, which is important. It is not just about the Gaeltacht, it is about...

Seanad: Order of Business (23 May 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ...with its work in Cork. I would be happy to arrange for the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, to come back to the House to deal with that issue. Senator Ó Donnghaile raised the issue of the Irish language Act. Tá suim mhór agam i gcúrsaí Gaeilge, go mórmhór sa Tuaisceart. Bronnaim mo thacaíocht personally ar an Teachta Ó Donnghaile as ucht...

Seanad: Order of Business (17 May 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ...xe1; suim mhór ag an Aire Stáit, an Teachta Kyne, agus ag na hAirí ar labhair an Seanadóir fúthu, an Teachta Varadkar agus an Teachta Coveney. Tá Gaeilge acu. Senator Mullen, unfortunately, brought members of the Government into the issue of the Irish language. The Ministers he referenced, Deputies Coveney and Varadkar, are committed to the Irish language...

Seanad: Order of Business (31 Jan 2017)

Jerry Buttimer: ...Ealaíon, Oidhreachta, Gnóthaí Réigiúnacha, Tuaithe agus Gaeltachta. Beidh an tAire Stáit, an Teachta Kyne, istigh linn ar an Déardaoin chun cúrsaí Gaeilge a phlé. The point the Senator made about the use of Irish language is one to which we all subscribe. Where at all possible, we should be able to use and support the use of the Irish...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Oct 2016)

Jerry Buttimer: There is a commitment by Government. Senator Ó Clochartaigh is wrong to say there is no interest in the Irish language on this side of the House. I very much regret that I could not have this debate with Senator Ó Clochartaigh as Gaeilge but I will try, as he knows. The Minister is committed to coming to House.

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2016)

Jerry Buttimer: ...with the centre regarding the matter. Senator Ó Domhnaill raised the issue of disability and na cúrsaí Gaeilge. Senators Ó Clochartaigh and McFadden also referred to the Gaeltacht and the Irish language. I was not able to get to Conradh na Gaeilge yesterday. The Minister has committed to coming to the House. I mentioned it to him today. We need to get a date so we...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Jun 2016)

Jerry Buttimer: ...teacht isteach sa Teach seo chun cúrsaí Gaeltachta agus ár dteanga dúchais a phlé. Tá súil agam go mbeidh a leithéid de díospóireacht againn roimh na laethanta saoire. I hope we will have a debate before the summer holidays on the Irish language and on cursaí Gaeltachta, and I applaud the Senators for raising the issue.

Gaeltacht Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (13 Jul 2012)

Jerry Buttimer: ...language attending a gaelscoil, and as a lover of the language myself, I must agree with Deputy Creed, who using a great phrase, referred to the "linguistic imperialism" of many associated with the Irish language. Those of us who should not have let the language slip, but who have made and make an effort, sometimes felt we were on a different planet and that our voices were not heard. In...

Seanad: Common Agricultural Policy: Statements (12 Oct 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: ...and Food with Commissioner Ciolos. I am not sure how to pronounce his name because I am not good at foreign languages, apart from Gaeilge, although some would argue that our approach to the Irish language is not correct because it is not a foreign language. The fact that we have not helped promote the Irish language at EU level is symptomatic of the problem we have with trade. This was...

Seanad: Údarás na Gaeltachta (Amendment) Bill 2010: Second Stage (22 Jun 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: ..., despite what Members on the Government side will say, is that the Government is afraid to hold elections. There is no need to postpone them. The preparation of the 20 year programme for the Irish language is important; it can be done in tandem with the elections. Ní gá an téarma a mhéadú nó sos toghchán a bheith ann. Is é atá ag teastáil ná ionadaíocht, rud atá...

Seanad: Irish Language: Statements (10 Mar 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: ...and Science, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, through his imposition of an embargo on professional development in schools, would do a disservice to the work the Minister present has been doing in promoting the Irish language. There is a cross-party consensus on the need to improve the use of Irish but I am concerned the approach of the Minister for Education and Science is regressive in terms of...

Seanad: Order of Business (4 Dec 2008)

Jerry Buttimer: ...na gcoláistí samhraidh, atá á tharraingt siar ag an Rialtas. For the benefit of those Members who misunderstood the points made by Senator O'Toole and me yesterday, I call for a debate on the Irish language, with particular reference to the removal by the Government of the grant to na coláistí samhraidh. This comes at a time when the Gaeltacht is under severe pressure. Tá muintir...

Seanad: Order of Business (11 Mar 2008)

Jerry Buttimer: ...ú agus an Seanadóir Ó Dochartaigh, tá dualgas orainn an Ghaeilge a thabhairt amach ón rang scoile agus í a shníomh i saol an tír. Like Senator Ó Murchú I seek a debate on the use of the Irish language. Last Saturday I was very disappointed that the IRFU did not have Irish on the tickets or in the match programme. I accept——
