- Private Members' Business - Care Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Dec 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I am glad I was not heckling. This Private Members' motion is extraordinary, to say the least. It does not address in any way the core problem the nation has of how to rectify our economic situation while recognising that the Government is spending an inordinate amount of money to fund our public services. We borrow €42 million per day. The Government has delivered a difficult and...

- Private Members' Business - Care Services: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Dec 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I am glad that, for once, the Deputy recognises that we must go to the troika, the EU and the IMF. That is the reality. The Fianna Fáil Party cut €16.50 from core social welfare payments.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Cystic Fibrosis Unit: Discussion (13 Dec 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: The purpose of our meeting is not to score points and to create division but there was a level of anxiety which came across very palpably on the airwaves and the good news story was diluted. This unit was opened with great fanfare and suddenly there was a problem. I understand the demands and pressure. This meeting has given people confidence and I am reassured by the presentation.
