- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
Jerry Buttimer: As someone who spent all my life as a public servant in school teaching, I am very proud to be part of the public service. I hope Deputy Coppinger would condemn the treatment of members of An Garda Síochána outside this House last night because that has no place in a civilised democracy. The right to protest and have a disagreement is fundamental to democracy, but it is not right...

Jerry Buttimer: Sometimes I wonder whether we live in the real world at all.

Jerry Buttimer: I very much do, Deputy Coppinger. I listened in my office with incredulity to some of the comments. Deputy Ó Cuív started talking about "Lanigan's Ball". Deputy Ó Cuív reminds me of Bobby in "Dallas"; he woke up from a dream after 14 years of government. You sat at the Cabinet table, Deputy Ó Cuív. You were part of a party that wrecked our country.

Jerry Buttimer: You were part of a government for 14 years and you sat there and you come in here now. It is extraordinary. You come in here every day and I swear to God you would think you never did anything wrong in your life. You have an answer for everything now whereas when you were in government look what ye did. Then the irony of it all is ye went off and ye told the troika, "We will roll over and...

Jerry Buttimer: I am. The only panacea Deputy Coppinger has is to boycott, to oppose and not to pay. I can tell her that 70% of our people have taken a principled stand-----

Jerry Buttimer: Deputy Ó Cuív you come in here every day with this stunt of "The Minister is giving a speech and we will call a quorum". Stop playing politics. Ye talked on the first day of the new Dáil about new politics. The people outside do not care about a quorum or do not care about the fact the Minister does not have a script. The reality is this: what you have done as a party can...

Jerry Buttimer: I represent the people of my constituency every single day and I will not take a lecture from people inside here on the Opposition benches who profess to have a majority of knowledge or empathy or sincerity about whatever. They do not have it. The rest of us live in the real world too and we represent our people. We have seen the hardship, we have heard the hard luck stories and we have...

Jerry Buttimer: Yes, I am on a roll, because I live in the real world and you cannot take the facts that your party in government was the party of a few. It might not have been your personal ideology-----
