- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I concur with the request of Senator Casey for a debate, not just on the 9% VAT rate but on hospitality and tourism. It is interesting that, post Covid, there has been an interest in and pent-up demand for tourism globally, which has flatlined in the middle of this year. I raised the issue of the 9% VAT rate before the budget. It is important that, as we enter a critical period for...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: I apologise for being absent for part of the meeting and perhaps for repetition in my questions. I welcome the witnesses and thank them for being here. The most important thing we should leave the meeting today with, notwithstanding the pressures, is that Aer Lingus, while not a Government-owned airline, is still very important to Ireland and for Ireland. I hope the witnesses understand...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: Unfortunately, it is not. I wish Aer Lingus flew out of Cork. That is the honest answer. In her opening statement, Ms Embleton made reference to the issues of the construction works, the Internet service provider and the supplier.

Jerry Buttimer: Is there a potential court case?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Recent Issues Concerning Aer Lingus Flight Booking and Check-in Services: Discussion (5 Oct 2022)
Jerry Buttimer: That is fair enough. I welcome the fact that there may be a court case. To be fair to Aer Lingus it needs to take ownership, which it has, and also have accountability on the other side. I thank Mr. Moriarty. I am a bit confused, and I know I am probably in a small dilemma given that I am from Cork, when I hear Ms Embleton, Mr. Moriarty, Ms Carberry and Mr. O'Neill speak about Aer Lingus...
