- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the 16 Members of the House for their contributions to the Order of Business. I will begin with the contribution of Senator Ardagh, who raised the issue of Spinraza. It is disappointing that there has been no progress in some cases. I know of one case in Cork in which the child affected did receive Spinraza just this week. There should, however, be no obfuscation or prolongation....

Jerry Buttimer: He and those in the Sinn Féin press office can put up videos of me laughing, as they have done in the past.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I will make my point. I will say it very clearly. Long before today-----
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I am addressing the Senator through the Chair. Long before today, I worked in local radio in Cork, which was closed by RTÉ in 1999. I did not see too many of the people on the Fianna Fáil or Sinn Féin benches protesting about the closure of RTÉ radio in Cork at that time.

Jerry Buttimer: Maybe it was.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I ask Senator Gavan to go back and check my comments in this House on the responsibility RTÉ has to public service broadcasting in the regions, including Limerick. I know Cork will benefit from Lyric FM moving to the city but that should not be the way.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: Lyric FM should remain in Limerick. I am all for regional broadcasting and recognise its importance. That includes Lyric FM being located in Limerick, RTÉ having a base in Cork city at its current headquarters on Father Mathew Street and RTÉ increasing its programming output from the regions. I have been clear on that.

Jerry Buttimer: I thank Senator Gavan.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: That was my intent before Senator Gavan and others raised the matter today. To be fair, long before today, Senators Byrne and Kieran O'Donnell raised this matter on the Order of Business, as did many other Senators at the time the future of Lyric FM was in question.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Nov 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: Thankfully, the future of Lyric FM has been secured. The battle now will be to have the station remain in Limerick. I have no problem with that because I know many of the presenters who work from Limerick and travel to the city to work make a fine contribution. Senator Ó Céidigh referred to requests he had made. The Minister will be in the House next Tuesday for a debate on the...
