Jerry Buttimer: Well said.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the 16 Senators who contributed on the Order of Business. I join with Senators Boyhan, Horkan, Ardagh and others who spoke on the tragic death this morning of former councillor John Bailey. I had the pleasure of knowing him as an elected politician, but also as a member of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael.He was an extraordinary man, dedicated to his community, his club, Cuala, and his...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: They were indeed. The proposal was agreed by the House and was also agreed at a meeting of the group leaders and Whips. I will not apologise in any way for holding a meeting of the Seanad Public Consultation Committee. With regard to the points made by Senator Craughwell, I apologise to the Leas-Chathaoirleach because I am going to use my phone to highlight and indicate a number of things....

Jerry Buttimer: The import of what the Senator is suggesting is just that. If a debate were to run short, his proposal would result in a break and the House suspending.

Jerry Buttimer: This just proves that the Senator does not know what he is talking about. With regard to the Dáil-----

Jerry Buttimer: -----let me inform the House-----
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: The Senator is correct in that indicative times are listed for items in the Dáil from 1 p.m. to 5.35 p.m., but times for Government business from 5.35 p.m. onwards are not. Senator Horkan is 100% correct. I will make a copy of the schedule available to all Members of the House. From 5.35 p.m. the following items are set for discussion: the CervicalCheck Tribunal Bill 2019, the Redress...

Jerry Buttimer: When the Senator is wrong, he should just admit it. With regard to the point made by Senator Horkan, to be fair, no times are given for Government business.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: As Senator Horkan and, I hope, Senator Ardagh and others will know, we try to be collegial in setting the business.There are occasions on which we try to allocate times because it suits the debate to so do. However, that does not always fit with the flow of proceedings and latitude must be allowed in that regard. To accuse people of being unprofessional is somewhat irresponsible, and I ask...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: Senators Conway and Devine raised the important issue of Moneypoint. I would be happy to have the Minister come to the House on the matter. I did not see the television programme broadcast last night to which Senator Leyden referred. I am unsure whether the House can do anything on this issue as it is not a matter for the House per se. It might be more expeditious for the Senator to table...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I will buy the popcorn if Senator Leyden provides the television. I point out to Senator Devine that my hearing is somewhat fallible today. I did not hear the name of the group that was formed. As it is a financial matter, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, will be happy to come to the House on it in due course. Senator Noone raised the important issue of the sugar tax and the...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Jul 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I will come to the issue of the future of Brexit. After the Order of Business, the Seanad Committee on Procedure and Privileges will meet to discuss an extension of the Brexit committee. Although it may not be possible, I will endeavour to have the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, come to the House on Brexit...

Jerry Buttimer: That seems to be the case. As the Senator generously recognised, that is outside my control.

Jerry Buttimer: Senator McDowell has certainly given it lots of time. I am not sure that the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, would use the same turn of phrase as did the Senator. We look forward to the conclusion of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill tomorrow in accordance with the Senator's comments in the House last week.
