- Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I am not; I am posing a question. Some of the Members opposite are very good at scaring. We saw some of that behaviour last weekend in Galway. They were on the public airwaves and they denounced nothing and saw nothing. They were really conflicted. Let us have a debate about Europe and where we want to be. Let us not allow the same old arguments to continue by the crowd opposite who...
- Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: The treaty calls for governments to act sensibly. We have paid a price for the recklessness of the previous 14 years. We accept this is not the answer to everything, but it is an attempt to stop the repeat of what has happened. By voting "Yes", we ensure we have a strengthened Europe. By voting "Yes", we ensure we have a message of hope, which Deputy Murphy said we do not have. I will...

- Private Rented Accommodation (18 Apr 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Ceann Comhairle's office for selecting this issue for discussion. The matter to which I wish to refer is of particular importance to me and the people I represent. There is an absolute need for the Government to consider introducing penalties in respect of landlords and tenants in circumstances where anti-social behaviour occurs in private rented accommodation in respect of...
- Private Rented Accommodation (18 Apr 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: The Department of Social Protection and the HSE should be involved in this process, and I welcome the prospect of proactive engagement. I will quote from a recent adjudication from the PRTB in regard to two recent cases with which I am familiar. It states "the behaviour of occupants and a visitor to the dwelling on numerous occasions constituted anti-social behaviour, in particular in the...

- Mahon Tribunal Report: Statements (Resumed) (29 Mar 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I regret that we must debate this report. The tribunal should not have been necessary, but that it was is an indictment of the political system. During the debate, most Fianna Fáil Members have discussed their party rather than the people, communities and country we are elected to serve. This is regrettable. As politicians, we are elected to serve all of the people, not just the chosen...
