Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

-----as a registered and practising teacher prior to my election to Seanad Éireann in 2007. I also speak with classroom experience, as well as experience as a director of adult education. It is important to view this Bill in the context of the Education Act 1998 and the Teaching Council Act 2001.

Deputy Clare Daly, I did not mean to interrupt you earlier because I enjoy your contributions in the House as you live on a planet to which I sometimes cannot relate.
