Seanad: Commencement Matters: Autism Support Services (22 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. Thank you for allowing me to raise the matter. I, too, welcome the Minister of State to the House and thank her for being here. I wish to raise the case of Mr. Gary Walton. He is a 33 year adult who requires support services. I seek an update on what services are available to him and his family. He was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome along with...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Autism Support Services (22 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Minister of State for her reply. From my observation the family would question the ongoing engagement and they would have been of the view that there was no engagement. The bottom line is there should be engagement between the HSE and the family. It would be appropriate for the HSE and the family to get together. The correct modus operandi is to have ongoing engagement and...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the 12 Senators who contributed to the Order of Business this morning. I join Senators Catherine Ardagh, Victor Boyhan and James Reilly in commending the men and women of the Dublin Fire Brigade on their heroism in preventing any loss of life last night. I congratulate and thank them for their profound bravery in responding immediately and swiftly to the fire at the Metro Hotel in...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: Can I finish? The Minister has said in this House and elsewhere that due to the fear of intimidation or whatever, confidentiality commitments were given to people living in the communities. The Minister has said he is open to looking at this. All of us recognise that part of the report was given to the McAnespie family in the past. In the interests of bringing closure to the family and...

Seanad: Order of Business (22 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: He has helped to make the church a friendlier and warmer home for people than it was in the past. It is disappointing, as Senator Norris rightly mentioned, that a wide variety of families, including LGBT families, single-parent families and lone-parent families, were removed from a brochure promoting this event. I hope the church will recognise that the traditional family model has changed...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh. I thank the 20 Members of the House for their contributions on the Order of Business. I begin by joining with all of the Senators in congratulating the Irish rugby team on their magnificent success on Saturday. The occasion brought great joy and celebrations to us as a people. I also congratulate Rory Best and commend Joe Schmidt on their leadership...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: It was actually the former Minister, the late Donal Creed, who set up the sports capital fund under the national lottery. Rather than playing one school against another, the sports capital programme is about investing in community, sporting and educational facilities. There was an appeals process. There were some clubs in my constituency that were unsuccessful. I wish they had been...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: With regard to the inner city, the Government established an inner city task force which is investing in Dublin's inner city. As regards the point made by Deputy Ardagh about Dublin 8 - to be fair, she has made it previously - I certainly hope that Dublin 8 would not be seen as a dumping ground for the issues the Senator raised. The people of Dublin 8 and surrounding areas are fine people...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: Yes, he was murdered. His life was cut short. I agree with Senator Mullen.It is about ensuring that we allow Senator Devine the space to come to the House, if she so chooses, to make a comment. In our online activity, none of us can support or retweet anything which is so uncaring in terms of what the Stack family is trying to do. There is a duty on all of us, whether we are Independents,...

Jerry Buttimer: I was agreeing with the Senator's commentary.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I am not disagreeing with the Senator: I am agreeing with him. Our thoughts are with the men who suffered appalling treatment and whose case must be heard again. The Minister was due to meet with them but owing to Storm Emma that meeting had to be cancelled. I am not disagreeing with the Senator so I am not sure where he is coming from.

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Jerry Buttimer: I am baffled by the decision of the court.
