- Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Committee Stage (15 May 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: It is important to recognise that the model of delivery of housing is changing. In 2018, 8,422 additional homes were provided by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government. That resulted from local authorities, housing bodies and housing agencies working together and was funded by the Department. In the debate on housing, I wish to make two points. First, it is important to...

Jerry Buttimer: I join with Senator Ruane in offering our sympathies to Ms Fidelma Doonan on the very sad death of her brother.

She will learn a lot in the course of her week working here. I thank the ten Members of the House for...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2019)

Regarding the issue relating to WhatsApp raised by Senators Ardagh and Craughwell, it is important that the Data Protection...

I thank her for bringing forward her Bill. Senator Norris...

Jerry Buttimer: Senator Colm Burke raised the issue of the Football Association of Ireland, FAI. I do not want to stray into the internal issues of that organisation. Those of us in this House who are sports people and are interested in the welfare of all sports, but in this case soccer, recognise that the FAI has a job of work to do to clean up its house and to restore confidence in the way in which it...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 May 2019)
Jerry Buttimer: I agree with Senator Murnane O'Connor that there is a movement away from the interpersonal communication which applies when calling any organisation. Eircom has become appalling in its customer care, as have the banks. There now seems to be no interface with a person; it is all through a machine.
