- Seanad: Order of Business (5 Feb 2009)
Jerry Buttimer: That is my first question. Members opposite are open to a charge of hypocrisy if they continue to talk out of both sides of their mouths. They should vote with the Opposition, if they believe what we say is right. If not, they should not say two things. In light of my Adjournment matter on Tuesday, I ask the Leader for a debate on the national lottery and on where the money it raises is...

Jerry Buttimer: I will not, but it is wrong of Eircom to promote a former Taoiseach at the expense of other politicians. Let us have fair play. It sends the wrong message, creates a second class of politician and should not be done. It also upsets people.
