- Health Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2011)
Jerry Buttimer: I support this Bill in its entirety. The private health insurance market can never be unregulated. It is a market place. Historically, there has been only one provider in this country but, thankfully, we have competition now. This is about private health care. I hear the people opposite referring to the health system and the health service but the programme for Government has a reforming...
- Health Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (1 Dec 2011)
Jerry Buttimer: Deputy Murphy should cast her eye to the Gallery where there are young men and women from our schools who will make up the insurance market of the future and who will look to us and to the Government to bring about a reformed health service, including universal health coverage, which will be fair and equitable.

The young people in the Gallery represent the...

- Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Nov 2011)
Jerry Buttimer: In welcoming the Minister's announcement tonight in the House, it is important that we also send a message or signal to those in charge of semi-State bodies. The Government has continually raised the issue of the pay of those in charge of these bodies. It was bizarre that an organisation such as Coillte had to wait until after the weekend to act, after gauging public reaction to the fact...
