- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)
Diarmuid Wilson: ...him for his service to this House and this country over 23 years as a Member of this House. It is an honour and a personal pleasure to be given the opportunity to second the proposal that Senator Buttimer be elected as Leas-Chathaoirleach of Seanad Éireann. I first met Jerry Buttimer, as he was then, in September 1984. I was a student in St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and I was...
- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)
Martin Conway: I move: "That Senator Jerry Buttimer be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach." I also welcome our dear friend and former Leas-Chathaoirleach, Paul Coghlan, to the Gallery. He has become a very dear friend to most of us who have been around here for a while. He has served County Kerry, as has the Cathaoirleach, his country, the State and Seanad Éireann with enormous distinction over a very...
- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)
Fintan Warfield: I appreciate the Cathaoirleach allowing me time to congratulate Senator Buttimer on his election as Leas-Chathaoirleach. It is a very special day for him and his husband, Conchobar. I am sure the Leas-Chathaoirleach will not mind me saying that in his role as Leader, he was sometimes combative and always well able to wind us up on this side of the House but it proved impossible not to...

Joe O'Reilly: I wanted to rise to join in the support of and the good wishes to Senator Buttimer. At the outset, I acknowledge the presence in the Chamber of his husband, Conchobhar, whom I briefly met today and I had met briefly in the past. I want to wish him well today. It is a big day for both of them. I also want to pay tribute to the rest of Jerry's family. I know that Jerry's brother, John, was...

Mark Daly: As the motion in respect of Senator Buttimer's nomination has been successful, the motion proposing Senator Warfield lapses. I call on the Leas-Chathaoirleach, Senator Buttimer, to address the House.
- Seanad: Election of Leas-Chathaoirleach (7 Jul 2020)
Niall Ó Donnghaile: I thank the Chair for that advice. Certainly, however, what I found most about Senator Buttimer was that as passionate and committed to the role of Leader as he was, that did not always put him against us in Sinn Féin or members of other parties. It sometimes put him up against members of his own party, so he treated us all equally in that role. I know he will bring, hopefully, that...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...feel much better and more assured in my Seanad place when Senator Coghlan is in the room. It is great to have him here today. Before I speak to our motion, I would like to refer to the other candidate for the position, Senator Buttimer. I echo the words said regarding his rambunctious nature as Leader of the last Seanad, and that is putting it kindly. He could be rambunctious, I...

Jerry Buttimer: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach. Is mór an onóir dom a bheith tofa mar Leas-Chathaoirleach inniu. Táim ag súil go mór le bheith ag obair leis an gCathaoirleach ar bhonn éifeachtach agus cothrom chun gnó an Tí Uachtaraigh a riaradh go héifeachtach agus go cothrom. Gabhaim fíorbhuíochas leis an Seanadóir Conway a mhol...
