Seanad: Podiatry Services (7 Oct 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me to raise on the Adjournment the issue of podiatry services for people with diabetes. A very strong campaign has been conducted across the country, particularly in County Cork, on the absence of leadership by the Government and the HSE in the management and treatment of diabetes. Approximately €23.3 million was spent between 2005 and 2009 treating...

Seanad: Podiatry Services (7 Oct 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: While I thank the Minister of State for his reply, it is wholly inadequate in terms of specifics and on improvements in the service.

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: I add to the concerns raised about the bank bailout. Even though we were hostage to international fortunes, we are also captive to our own bad economic regulatory affairs and to the lack of accountability by the Government, the Financial Regulator and the boards of governors and boards of directors of the banks. When will we see people held to account and held responsible for their action...

Seanad: Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Jerry Buttimer: The people have been told lies and misled and there has been concealment and dishonesty. The only ones to have paid are the people. When is this going to stop? When will we see people put in jail, debarred from serving and made to pay a price? The public have paid the price. Like others, I would like a debate on aviation, something I have called for numerous times. A policy is being...
