- Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I want to welcome the Minister of State's comments in her reply, especially around her commitment on a minimum number of meetings. That is a positive development. However, I am struck by two points. First, I was alarmed at the suggestion of three months and I do not know why it would take that long. To use an analogy, I could not see Michael O'Leary tolerating a three-month delay. I...

- Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: The Acting Chairperson is impartial. In defence of Senator Doherty, she is raising some legitimate points. I hope that before Report Stage, the Minister of State and her officials will look at some of what the Senator is proposing that can make the legislation better, which is what we are trying to do.

- Seanad: Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: On section 103, there were some concerns about dissolution. There was a concern about splitting staff and different part of the whole operation. Have those been rectified? I do not want to delay the Bill.

Jerry Buttimer: In light of the whole issue around EU scrutiny of legislation, what the Minister of State has read into the record is a very important insertion that we should not just dismiss as technical. It is very technical, but under the guise of the Cathaoirleach's Seanad reform programme, he might give consideration to those regulations being used as part of a wider conversation in the House that...

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: On a point of order, I was not referring to Senator Craughwell's travels. I was referring to the fact that we had a debate on the Defence Forces in the House last week. That is what I was referring to.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: It gives me great pleasure to ask the Acting Leader to bring the Minister for Education to the House for a debate. I say sincerely and genuinely that, notwithstanding the issues with Covid, and I appreciate a gargantuan effort has been made with the leaving certificate, we are now into mid-October and the junior certificate students still have not got their results. That is very unfair. I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I apologise for being absent for part of the meeting and perhaps for repetition in my questions. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for being here. The most important thing we should leave the meeting today with, notwithstanding the pressures, is that Aer Lingus, while not a Government-owned airline, is still very important to Ireland and for Ireland. I hope the witnesses understand...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Unfortunately, it is not. I wish Aer Lingus flew out of Cork. That is the honest answer. In her opening statement, Ms Embleton made reference to the issues of the construction works, the Internet service provider and the supplier. Has the construction contractor or any of the entities been named during the meeting? I missed part of the meeting.
