Jerry Buttimer: The assistant commissioner mentioned distractions. Are our vehicles today becoming too distracting? Are they becoming the dining room, the office, the entertainment or whatever else? Senator Horkan’s raised the point of having a black box in cars, which I know would never travel because of GDPR. However, on the issue of distractions, is our focus wrong? Are we focusing too much on...

Jerry Buttimer: I ask the Deputy Leader to invite the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, or the Minister of State at the Department of Social Protection, Deputy Joe O'Brien, to the House. I welcome the reforms announced today by the Minister with regard to the community employment, CE, scheme, the Tús scheme and the rural social scheme. Being immersed in our local communities, we all...
- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I have a question in the context of two parts of section 5. I hear the points made by Senator Gavan. To me, the idea of protecting both the employer and the employee is important. I am asking the question in the context of pro ratasick pay. I accept that an employee who works a certain number of days, weeks and months will build up entitlements and an indemnity in terms of cover. To me,...
- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I would hate for people watching and listening in to think that this is not an extraordinarily positive day. I take Senator Gavan’s points on board. The Minister of State is right that Senator Gavan should acknowledge that we are beginning a new chapter. As Senator Dolan rightly said, this is about access to sick pay. We must strike a balance. Senator Gavan should acknowledge that...
- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I am just speaking from my perspective. I will go to Limerick with the Senator and he will meet the people who are being paid more than the minimum wage. That is the reality. We have today ensured that workers are protected by this. I come from a perspective that is many miles from that of Senator Burke. I may be much closer to Senator Gavan in terms of-----
- Seanad: Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I would never join the Senator, but I certainly have a similar view on protecting workers rights, as does, to be fair, the Minister of State. That is what we are doing today. We are making provision. That is the fundamental point about this legislation. There is also the Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill later on. It is about ensuring that workers' conditions and...
- Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Just to assist Senator Craughwell, section 59 is very explicit and the Minister of State has given a very clear answer this afternoon. I think we need to be able to proceed. All of us agree safety is paramount.
