Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019 (2 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: I am not clear on whether secondary legislation is required. If it is, how long will it take or what will the format of it be? It is important that the legislation we progress would allow for cities like Cork to launch an e-scooter scheme this summer as we prepare to reopen cities in a safe way. I welcome the contribution. Will we require secondary legislation and what will be in the...

Committee on Public Petitions: Irish Ombudsman Forum: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: I welcome our witnesses. It is good to have them back with us. I join with Deputy Murphy in asking that the Chairman would bring clarity to the communication piece that he said he would address prior to our last meeting, which has not yet been done and which I believe he has a duty to do. As Deputy Murphy has said, we will not do it today because we have very important work. In the context...

Jerry Buttimer: Perhaps there could be a joint address to the Houses of the Oireachtas by one of the ombudsman offices or all of them?

Committee on Public Petitions: Irish Ombudsman Forum: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: Has Mr. Tyndall received complaints about the 5 km rule? From a cursory glance at the @OfficeOmbudsman handle on Twitter, and my poor operation of Twitter, it is difficult to find. Has he considered changing the name on Twitter? I join with Ms Justice Ring in commending the men and women of An Garda Síochána for the courtesy they have shown at checkpoints, and I have met them...

Committee on Public Petitions: Irish Ombudsman Forum: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: Could one argue, in light of what happened with Davy Stockbrokers, that we would have a role in that context?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Public Consultation on the National Development Plan (Resumed): Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, and for Transport (9 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: I commend the Minister on his vision and his optimism. I hope we can, collectively, be successful. I am glad he mentioned the need for Cork to be strong because we are becoming very Dublin-centric. We need to have a counterbalance through balanced regional development but I have some concerns. I am fully supportive and totally in favour of the policy switch to public transport. Deputy...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Viability of and Opportunities for the Post Office Network: Discussion (16 Mar 2021)

Jerry Buttimer: I will begin by thanking the witnesses. I would say to Senator Craughwell that some of us want to be in government to make decisions rather than be like him - a hurler on the ditch throwing stones who has all the answers but does nothing but pontificate. The Chairman should take note of that because I am fed up with the Senator coming in every day lecturing us while offering no solutions...
