Jerry Buttimer: In the light of the fact that three council workers were suspended for filling a pothole, does the Government have any plan to overhaul the health and safety legislation or change working conditions for council staff? In the case in question, the three workers were on their way back to their depot when they stopped to fill potholes in the common good.

Jerry Buttimer: This is an extremely sensitive issue and as one must not discommode or disempower those who require the Government to assist them, this review group will report back promptly. Much has been made of the HSE service plan that was announced in recent weeks. If I may, I will make reference to the area of Cork from which I come. I greatly welcome the initiatives included in the HSE's service...

Jerry Buttimer: As somebody who has not submitted a question I welcome the fact that in the city of Cork there has been a 46% reduction in MRSA cases. The significant progress we have made in Cork is something about which we should not become complacent. I believe the Minister will agree that no patient should have to endure the horror of picking up an infection in hospital. Having recently met staff in...

Jerry Buttimer: I had the pleasure of speaking at a transgender conference in Waterford last week organised by Transgender Equality Network Ireland, TENI. With regard to the gender recognition Bill, given its complexity and the fact that it is in section C of the Government's legislative programme, will the Taoiseach outline the progress made?

Health Insurance: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (6 Mar 2013) See 9 other results from this debate

Timmy Dooley: ...not to participate. That will allow that fear to be a daily fear - not just the fear of illness, but the fear of being unable to pay if a family member falls ill. It is not good enough for Deputy Buttimer or any other Member to come in here and give us a history lesson as they regularly do. That is fine when we are having general banter and just tossing political jibes across the House....

Further Education and Training Bill 2013: Second Stage (27 Feb 2013)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Minister of State for bringing this important Bill before the House. I was not going to engage in a political rant against the Member opposite but we all know that the party which Deputy Mattie McGrath supported for most of its 14 years in Government discredited FÁS. I regret that because I agree with him about the great people who worked in FÁS and delivered a...

Magdalen Laundries Report: Statements (Resumed) (27 Feb 2013)

Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Government for holding this debate. It is extraordinary that we are engaging in such a debate in the modern, 21st century Ireland. I had the benefit of spending time in a seminary and I lived in a world where pastoral care and people's needs are paramount. I am glad, therefore, that the cruelty and inhumanity of Irish society in the past has thankfully been laid bare, not just...

Enda Kenny: All of the insurance companies appeared last week before the Joint Committee on Health and Children chaired by Deputy Jerry Buttimer. These matters are being considered and I expect the Bill to be produced in April. The agreement referred to is a Labour Relations Commission document. The commission has been working diligently to get the details right and I expect the paper to be published...

Magdalen Laundries: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (13 Feb 2013) See 1 other result from this debate

Jerry Buttimer: The report and debate are not about politics but about the women who deserve not just our sympathy, apologies and sorrow but our support. I remind Deputy Niall Collins and other Fianna Fáil Deputies reading the report that the House is united in its response to the suffering of these women. The House is united in its desire to build an Ireland which is kinder, gentler, more tolerant...

Order of Business (13 Feb 2013)

Enda Kenny: ...before Christmas with regard to dealing with the A, B and C case and the Supreme Court decision in the X case. The Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children under the chairmanship of Deputy Buttimer held its hearings on an information basis and presented that report to the Minister for Health. I can confirm that quite a deal of work has been done in preparation of the legislative heads...

Officials from the medical card section appeared before the committee chaired by Deputy Jerry Buttimer. They spoke about medical cards at the Committee of Public Accounts also.
