- Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No.3) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jan 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: Deputy Smith's contribution made me smile because on 7 August 2009, the then Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Calleary, announced publication of an Industrial Relations (Amendment) Bill and on 9 February 2011, the then Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, Mary Hanafin, introduced an independent review. It is incorrect and unfair to claim...

- Private Members' Business. Local Authority Public Administration Bill 2011: Second Stage (13 Jan 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: How does one follow that? I compliment Deputy Collins for bringing the Bill before the House. The Minister is a pioneer in his position. He is a reforming Minister who has vision which some of his predecessors lacked and a commitment to follow through.

Jerry Buttimer: I am talking about the city of Cork with which Deputy Mattie McGrath might not be familiar because he does not go beyond the townland, which is all right. Deputy McGrath only goes travelling to peddle misinformation and to try to get headlines-----
- Private Members' Business. Local Authority Public Administration Bill 2011: Second Stage (13 Jan 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I will conclude on this point. It is important that planners use common sense. We must incentivise business. We must allow people to create jobs and planners to have a significant role in this regard. I refer in particular to the city of Cork where we must allow people to create constructive, commercially viable long-term jobs which have the potential to create further jobs. This is why...
- National Sports Campus (12 Jan 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the Minister's reply and compliment him and the Minister of State, Deputy Ring. It is important that we put on the record spending â¬20,000 or â¬30,000 would have been a futile exercise and the Minister was correct in the approach taken. It is imperative that we develop the indoor facilities at Abbotstown as we lack these. We saw on the recent "Prime Time" programme that a...

- State Airports (12 Jan 2012)
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Minister for his reply and congratulate him on demonstrating a political leadership which was lacking in the previous regime with regard to the Cork airport.
