Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I will put on the record that this amendment only changes "shall" to "may". It makes a provision for a block order to be issued whenever the request is made rather than allowing the measure to me discretionary. I am not sure whether this amendment has accidentally ended up being ruled out of order because it is very like all the other amendments in terms of "may" and "shall". It is a...

I thank the officials in the Department, who have been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank everyone for their presentations and the information provided so far. We are coming quite close to the end of these committee hearings. When I came in first, and this still remains the case, I leaned towards there being assisted dying in certain circumstances. What has not become apparent to me are those certain circumstances. I still find myself in this situation at the end of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: The ethics that we naturally think are in opposition to each other are autonomy and the values of life. Is death not included when considering the values of life as an ethical ground, given how life and death are so intertwined? Is there a conversation around death being a value of life rather than in opposition to the values of life?

Lynn Ruane: Amendment No. 57 seeks to clarify that when issuing the code of ethics, the authority shall have regard to consequences for members who breach the code of ethics. Like many others, I am deeply concerned by inappropriate conduct by members being left to a code of ethics which is largely toothless. I raised these concerns in my contribution to the body cameras legislation as well, as the...
