Jerry Buttimer: It is in the control of some who are not here in the House. On a very sad note, I join the Members of the House who offered their sympathies to the young man who was tragically killed in Castleblayney this morning. On my own behalf and that of the Fine Gael Party in the House, I offer our sympathies to his family and pay tribute to a member of An Garda Síochána who demonstrated,...

Jerry Buttimer: That includes the areas of Fermanagh, Omagh and mid-Ulster. A total of 100,000 properties have no access to super-fast broadband. I accept that 540,000 properties in this jurisdiction need to get broadband. That is the reason the Taoiseach has said that is a priority.

Jerry Buttimer: The difficulty-----
- Seanad: Order of Business (28 Nov 2018)
