- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Wrong again. The Senator is misleading the House.
- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the Minister to the House and commend him on his stewardship of the Bill thus far, for his engagement and the quality of that engagement. I know Senator Horkan referred to the 2021 Bill, but the fact that the Minister brought amendments in the Lower House underscores the importance of this Bill. We are committed to this legislation. My friend and colleague, Senator Boyhan, raised...
- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I apologise. He deserves credit for the role he has played with the National Council for the Blind of Ireland in educating us and for showing us how we should actively listen to the concerns of visually impaired members of the public who use our footpaths. Despite what Senator Horkan said about scaremongering, some people are genuinely concerned about e-scooters on paths. I thank the...
- Seanad: Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (6 Oct 2022)

Jerry Buttimer: Next Tuesday.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I concur with the request of Senator Casey for a debate, not just on the 9% VAT rate but on hospitality and tourism. It is interesting that, post Covid, there has been an interest in and pent-up demand for tourism globally, which has flatlined in the middle of this year. I raised the issue of the 9% VAT rate before the budget. It is important that, as we enter a critical period for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I apologise for being absent for part of the meeting and perhaps for repetition in my questions. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for being here. The most important thing we should leave the meeting today with, notwithstanding the pressures, is that Aer Lingus, while not a Government-owned airline, is still very important to Ireland and for Ireland. I hope the witnesses understand...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Unfortunately, it is not. I wish Aer Lingus flew out of Cork. That is the honest answer. In her opening statement, Ms Embleton made reference to the issues of the construction works, the Internet service provider and the supplier. Has the construction contractor or any of the entities been named during the meeting? I missed part of the meeting.

Jerry Buttimer: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Is there a potential court case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: That is fair enough. I welcome the fact that there may be a court case. To be fair to Aer Lingus it needs to take ownership, which it has, and also have accountability on the other side. I thank Mr. Moriarty. I am a bit confused, and I know I am probably in a small dilemma given that I am from Cork, when I hear Ms Embleton, Mr. Moriarty, Ms Carberry and Mr. O'Neill speak about Aer Lingus...
