Patrick O'Donovan: I will answer the first point the Senator raised. I am going to have the same issue with Senator Kyne. I do not disagree with Senator Buttimer.It puts us in an invidious position because these are not the policy areas for which we have responsibility. That said, I would include Shannon in Senator Buttimer's enunciation-----

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Aviation Industry (14 Dec 2022)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...on the part of the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, who is from the west and understands the importance of connectivity, to make sure we are not left in the situation feared by Senator Buttimer. From a Munster point of view, we have a very comprehensive network of airports, all of which have a sustainable and bright future in the context of a new, sustainable aviation policy. I will...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Departmental Funding (14 Dec 2022)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...not disagree with anything the Senator has raised here but I am sure there are other moving parts within the Department that I am not aware of in this context. A suggestion I have made to Senator Buttimer already this morning is that the House might look at some sort of scheduling mechanism in order for it to be of value to Senators to raise matters on behalf of their constituents or...

Seanad: Data Sharing and Governance Bill 2018: Second Stage (19 Jun 2018)

I was very anxious that I would introduce the Bill in the Seanad as opposed to the other House for a number of reasons and I discussed it with the Leader, Senator Buttimer.

Organ Donation: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2013)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...that happens, week in, week out. I compliment Deputy Fleming on what is a very mature motion. I wish to pay tribute to three people who came to the Dáil last week at my invitation, as Deputy Buttimer noted. The Acting Chairman will be familiar with them: Mr. Michael Kiely, Ms Noreen O'Halloran and Ms Annette Beston. They came to tell the human side of the stories of a person who...

Health and Social Care Professionals (Amendment) Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Oct 2012)

Patrick O'Donovan: ...disabilities, but unsupervised and unregulated people are attending to vulnerable old people living on their own. I do not cast aspersion on any person doing that job at the moment. However, as Deputy Buttimer said about psychotherapists, it is just as important for a home-care provider to be working in a statutorily regulated industry as it is for the person in receipt of it. As I said...

Health Promotion (15 Feb 2012)

Earlier, the Minister answered a question on this matter from my colleague, Deputy Buttimer. This is not about levying taxes or imposing a sugar tax, although that might very well be part of it. There is corporate responsibility here as well on the part of the games industry....
