- Seanad: Local Government Funding: Statements (5 Dec 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the Minister of State. It is important that we allow local government to recover its status, its authority and the role and functions of the council. To remind the Members opposite, I could mention the former Ministers, Noel Dempsey and a great man from Waterford, Martin Cullen. To go forward, we must remember the past. That is the important point. This debate is extensive. It...
- Seanad: Local Government Funding: Statements (5 Dec 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: It has all the money, I accept that. There is strength in the parties being together on this. I congratulate the Minister of State for having the Moorhead report put together. It is critical it is published and it is equally important that there is an outcome that councillors can live with and that we can support. It is time that we had a national debate on the future and structure of...

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the 11 Members of the House who contributed to the Order of Business. I reiterate on my behalf and that of the Members a great welcome back to the House for the Cathaoirleach. His very genuine words are certainly ones we are glad he could utter in this Chamber. He was missed, not just because of his impartiality in the Chamber but because of his huge presence. I join with him in...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (4 Dec 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I would be happy to support that and to have a debate on the matter with the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. What goes in tandem with that is the importance of human rights issues and the camps. I read during the weekend that the Chinese authorities were describing these camps as vocational training camps. That is the preposterous position they take. I am happy...

- Committee on Public Petitions: Decisions on Public Petitions Received (4 Dec 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I support the overall thrust of the petition in the context of increasing the number of qualified election observation postings. As somebody engaged in election observation, I can say this is an important element of the work that the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly does but, equally, we have a role through the EU and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, OSCE and the Office...
