- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Control of Dogs (4 Mar 2025) See 1 other result from this debate
Jerry Buttimer: I thank Deputy McGreehan again and I share her view. It is important for dog owners to be aware of their responsibilities, not just for the public but also for their dogs. The Deputy is right; accountability, awareness and human responsibility must work in tandem. In 2024, a major national awareness campaign entitled, "It's not your dog's fault, it's yours", was launched by the...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Road Network (4 Mar 2025)
Darragh O'Brien: ...across the country? Of course it will not. You must have a works programme as well and the capacity to deliver those programmes. That is what I and the Ministers of State, Deputies Canney and Buttimer, in this Government will be focused on. It is for the local authorities to bring the schemes forward and to make submissions to ourselves and through the roads authorities as well....

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (19 Feb 2025) See 1 other result from this debate
Jerry Buttimer: I thank Deputy Whitmore for raising this very important matter. I concur completely that the biggest need is for bus services to be reliable and on time. We share the belief that should not just be an aspiration but a reality for the consumer, the travelling public. I thank the Deputy and appreciate the issues she has outlined in her contribution. I commit to bringing the issues she has...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Online Safety (19 Feb 2025) See 1 other result from this debate
Jerry Buttimer: I reiterate that online catfishing is not a trivial issue. It is a very serious matter that has a real and lasting impact on the victim both emotionally and financially. The anonymity the Internet affords cannot be an excuse for deception and harm. I fully agree with the thrust of what the Deputy said. While we have strong legislative measures in place, we must continue to assess whether...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Rail Network (13 Feb 2025) See 2 other results from this debate
Jerry Buttimer: I thank the Deputy for raising this matter, which I am taking for the Minister for Transport, and I apologise that he is not here. It is an important matter. Having been a student In Maynooth, I have seen the growth of Kilcock, Sallins and Maynooth. Improving public transport services and infrastructure is central to improving citizens' quality of life and achieving our decarbonisation...
- Road Safety: Statements (13 Feb 2025) See 4 other results from this debate
Malcolm Byrne: First, I congratulate the Minister of State in his new role. Given some of the debate earlier, Deputy Buttimer now will be familiar with roads all over the country. The Minister of State could probably replace Google Maps, particularly having listened to Deputy Collins knowing the various roads of south-west Cork. I am afraid I will continue somewhat in that vein. However, it is to...
- Government’s Response to Storm Éowyn: Statements (Resumed) (6 Feb 2025)
Jerry Buttimer: The breadth of the contributions by Members of the House today and yesterday speaks to the scale of the impact of Storm Éowyn. It was, as Deputy Gogarty said, a hurricane-type event, with winds of 180 km/h, which illustrates the severity. We can see the impact it is having on families and communities, throughout the west and north west in particular, and every one of us regrets its...

- VAT Rate for Hospitality Sector: Motion [Private Members] (16 Oct 2024)
Neale Richmond: ...the value and importance of the hospitality sector to our economy and our society. I completely hear it. It was put to me quite bluntly on Friday by a number of people who work in this sector when I had that engagement with Senator Jerry Buttimer in Cork city centre. They said that they do not feel appreciated and not necessarily just about policy direction but also with the language...
- Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage (19 Sep 2024)
Pa Daly: ...Without the protection of the tort of defamation, there was no recourse for the family. In that context, I was taken aback by some interventions from the Tánaiste. One was described by Frank Buttimer and Company solicitors as a rant and a feral attack on many of the pillars of justice of the State, and an attack on the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions not to...
- Joint Committee on Disability Matters Report: Motion (26 Oct 2023)
Anne Rabbitte: ...regard. I absolutely agree about what can be done with this House. The Ceann Comhairle has led by example in ensuring we have an autism-friendly House. It was him and the Leader of the Seanad, Senator Buttimer, who led that. The changing places piece is a conversation I am having. Another place in this House that is a barrier is upstairs where the paintings of previous leaders are...
- Address by Mr. Joseph Biden, President of the United States of America (13 Apr 2023)
Jerry Buttimer: A Uachtarán Biden, thar ceann Chomhaltaí an dá Theach agus ar mo shon féin, gabhaim buíochas leat as an onóir a thabhairt dúinn a bheith i do láthair inniu agus as an aitheasc a thug tú don chomhshuí seo. We might say four more years, Mr. President, but we cannot be political here. Thank you for your wonderful address. Mr. President, as...

Leo Varadkar: ...of State with responsibility for special education, as the Deputy is aware, and this is an issue that has also been raised by Deputy Colm Burke, by the Minister, Deputy Coveney, and by Senator Buttimer. I cannot make a commitment on the floor of the House but we will certainly have this examined. In my own constituency we had to fight quite hard to secure our first special school which...
- Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (11 Mar 2021)
Eoghan Murphy: ...agreements, as we did with regard to other vaccines? If not, is this something the Minister would suggest be done? I would like to bring to the attention of the Minister that Senator Buttimer and I have proposed that the European Ombudsman appear before the new ombudsman and petitions committee to answer in regard to her work and investigation into how the EU has handled the Covid...
- Scrambler Motorbikes and Quad Bikes: Motion [Private Members] (17 Nov 2020)
Mattie McGrath: ...A new track for cars is being developed near Duneske in Cahir. It is to be hoped people will be able to use it to train. Planning permission has just been granted by An Bord Pleanála. I compliment the Buttimer family on this project. It is to be hoped young men and women will be able to drive their cars and get experience there. There is nothing like experience. I pass on my...

Tommy Broughan: ...actually remain in the European Union. If, however, the Seanad cannot be abolished, the only responsible workable and democratic option is for our people is to elect all 60 Senators by universal franchise on the same day as and in similar constituencies to a Dáil election. Even the statement of position on page 23 of the report by our four Fine Gael colleagues, Senators Byrne,...
