Jerry Buttimer: To be of assistance to Senator Mac Lochlainn, I find it extraordinary that Irish Water would not meet public representatives. It is unique that it has not met public representatives.

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: The Leas-Chathaoirleach is okay. I would not rise to the provocation, a Leas-Chathaoirligh. If he was in my place, he would get it every day. He would be used to getting it if he were on this side of the House.

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I do not know whether Senator Ned O'Sullivan touched a nerve or detonated some type of whatever in the House but he certainly raised the issue of Simon Carswell's newspaper article this morning on Mary Casey and her father, Jack, and the atrocities of August 1972.

Seanad: Order of Business (17 Oct 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: The point I was going to make in reply to Senator Ned O'Sullivan concerned the article he raised, the fact that we are in the midst of a very tense Brexit negotiation and the need for all of us north, south, east, west, green, white and orange to uphold the Good Friday Agreement and never go back to the days of violence.

Jerry Buttimer: In these delicate Brexit negotiations, it is critical that we on the island of Ireland north, south, east, west, green, white and orange understand the importance of the next couple of days and weeks. We can never allow our country to go back to the days before the Good Friday Agreement was brought into being. That is the point I am making. Senator Davitt raised the issue of betting and...
