The consensual approach taken by Opposition parties in the Dáil will continue in this House.

- Seanad: Charities Bill 2007: Second Stage (26 Nov 2008)
Jerry Buttimer: This is a glaring omission. This legislation has been a long time in gestation and reform of the charities sector is long overdue and necessary.

Jerry Buttimer: I beg the Cathaoirleach's indulgence and I will conclude on this final point. We must make a distinction between the management and the employees of FÃS.
