Jerry Buttimer: I do not mind Deputy Healy having a different viewpoint. I am trying to be constructive. I am not necessarily against what he is trying to achieve. What I am saying to Deputies Healy and Pringle is we are a little premature in what we are trying to do in the context of getting to the point of what they want.

Jerry Buttimer: I hope, and can only speak for myself - I am being very honest with Deputy Pringle - what we are trying to achieve here is having a policy that is people-centred in terms of how we allocate resources and give people rights and entitlements, and I am not opposed to that at all. However, we are, maybe, a step ahead of ourselves. One does not put the car from first gear-----

Jerry Buttimer: If I said "Black", Deputy Joan Collins would say "White". In all fairness, that is the Deputy's history in here.

Jerry Buttimer: I have my view, Deputy Joan Collins has her views and I hope we can meet somewhere in the middle. Deputy Joan Collins is for nothing and against everything; I am the opposite. I want to see people empowered. I want to see our country lift and rise. I want to see people work and have a decent standard of living. The politics of protest is one matter, but Deputy Joan Collins should not...

Jerry Buttimer: Deputy Joan Collins is for nothing and against everything. That is the Deputy's problem. I see the bigger picture; the Deputy does not. All Deputy Joan Collins sees is the placard at the end on the television or the newspaper.

Jerry Buttimer: Deputy Joan Collins is doing the same. That is the case.

Jerry Buttimer: There is merit in Deputy Pringle's Bill. In my opinion - I imagine we will not have a constitutional referendum before the end of this Dáil - it should be taken to a committee where we can have a real discussion and build cross-party support, as we did in many areas in health. That is all I am saying.

Jerry Buttimer: Can I stop Mr. Molloy for one second, please? If there is a mobile phone on, could the person please turn it off because it is interfering with Mr. Molloy's presentation.
