- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (11 Jul 2018)
Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the Minister of State. Since the framework's launch, we have had a discussion about the importance of planning and being able to prepare for the future. During an Order of Business last week, Senator Davitt spoke about going on a mystical tour of Ireland. I would love to take him on a real tour and show him the import and future consequences of the national planning framework. I...

- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (11 Jul 2018)
Jerry Buttimer: I admire her for the way she supports her party in the Chamber. She has a duty to do that, but the reality is that we must implement this plan to deliver for Carlow, Cork, Waterford, Meath, Dublin and beyond.
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (11 Jul 2018)

The Acting Chairman was a member of a local authority and we sat through discussions on development plans to modify local area plans and have strategic nodes and so...

Jerry Buttimer: The point Senator Kevin Humphreys made yesterday on the Order of Business is one from which we should learn. He referenced a particular site which has potential. In Cork we have the docklands to grow and develop the city. The one thing I share with the Tánaiste is our ambitions for Cork. We want to see-----
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (11 Jul 2018)
Jerry Buttimer: No, one of the many. I thank the Acting Chair for seeking clarification. The Tánaiste and I share many things. We are both anxious that the national development plan, Ireland 2040, focus on generating growth beyond the M50. I know that Senator Kevin Humphreys is focused on Dublin, while the Minister of State is focused on his area, but for those of us in the south, in the context of...
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Motions (11 Jul 2018)
Jerry Buttimer: Cork Airport is a brilliant airport. In fairness to the chief executive, Mr. Niall McCarthy, and his team the airport is growing. An article published last week in the Evening Echostated that Horgan's Quay was the third terminal for Dublin Airport. That was a bit unfair. What is happening is that people in the south are choosing, in my opinion, erroneously to travel to Dublin when those...
