- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
Brian Walsh: The fact is, as Deputy Buttimer said, they have refused to condemn these actions of violence in a manner that would seem brass-necked to even the Teflon terrorists in the House.
- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
Brian Walsh: I acknowledge the very positive and constructive contribution made by my colleague from west Galway, Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív. On the interaction earlier between him and Deputy Jerry Buttimer, I have to say Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív has always acted on behalf of all the interests of his constituency, regardless of age, colour, sexual orientation or religion. He has always...

Jerry Buttimer: Irish Water is part of that scheme with the OPW to put in place the infrastructure to ensure we will have safe streets if we have a repeat of those two major floods in Cork. We must ensure that Irish Water as a utility company has the confidence of the people. I listened to Deputy Pringle talk about mass boycotts and the people winning. What about the people who have made a principled...

Jerry Buttimer: It is important that the legislation is passed. Some of us might wish we did not have to do this, but the reality is that we have no choice because of the memorandum of understanding with the troika agreed by the party, Fianna Fáil, of which Deputy Ó Cuív is a member.

- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
Jerry Buttimer: We see the benefit for people in group water schemes and people with wells. I come from an area where my father in his family home had to sink his own well and my late uncle had to sink his own well. They paid for the cost of running that well. Deputy Ó Cuív talks about representing people. He represents people who are part of a group water scheme who have been paying for water...

- 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.
- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
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.
- Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report Stage (Resumed) (2 Jul 2015)
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...
