- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Jerry Buttimer: I withdraw the remark.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Jerry Buttimer: On a point of order, that does not apply. That does not apply to all the ways we operate in this House. On the issue of list to which the Cathaoirleach is referring regarding the Order of Business and other debates, whether they concern legislation, or statements, there is no uniformity of application from the Cathaoirleach regarding the names that are submitted. That is the point that I...

Jerry Buttimer: Okay.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Jerry Buttimer: I am not referring just to the Order of Business, a Chathaoirligh. It is frustrating and annoying to many of us who are trying our best to make contributions to business and statements of the House, that we cannot get in.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Jerry Buttimer: But, a Chathaoirligh, you are the custodian of the position of Cathaoirleach, and there is an element of unfairness, however it happens, where Members cannot make a contribution to debates on legislation but predominantly on statements. If we go back to last week, some of us had to either share a minute and a half or two minutes each, or we could not get in at all.

Jerry Buttimer: I appreciate the element of Covid-19, but Senator Boyhan's fundamental point is right. We are the Upper House of a Parliament and we need to look at how we can ensure that the way we do business is changed to adopt to the new way of doing things in a Covid-19 world, but it is unfair. I am sorry that I am aggrieved about it. Many of us are trying to make an effort to contribute and we...

Jerry Buttimer: I apologise if you think I am having a go at you, a Chathaoirligh. I am not having a go at you at all. It is the system I am having a go at.

Jerry Buttimer: Do you want me to reply, a Chathaoirligh?
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Nov 2020)
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Cathaoirleach for clarifying the matter I raised earlier and I appreciate that. I assure the Cathaoirleach he will hear no further remarks from me on it. I appreciate the job he has and it is not an easy one. I do not mean anything personal by it at all. Senator Pauline O'Reilly raised an important issue this morning on the report of the Dublin Well Woman Centre research that...
