- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Proposed Approval by Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann of EU Regulation 2021/693: Motion (14 Sep 2021)
Lynn Ruane: Obviously, I am largely supportive of the framework but there were three points in it to which I want to draw attention. One of those is in regard to paragraph (9) of the regulation. I was wondering where it leaves us in respect of the Special Criminal Court, or if that arises at all. The paragraph refers to the notion of transparency. I am wondering if it is possible for us to remain in...

Lynn Ruane: To clarify, I was referring to one King's Inns' bursary relating to a specific minority group, women, access students and so on, rather than bursaries in the general sense.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I want to raise an issue I raised by way of a Commencement matter yesterday to ensure when we resume after the summer recess we can have a real conversion about the expulsion of kids with special needs from schools. I have spoken about autism and special needs many times in this House but every time I read a newspaper article or get an email and read the words “violent”,...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Special Educational Needs (12 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for taking the time to come into the Seanad this morning. Education is of critical importance to children and young people but education is about more than just schooling, as many perceive it to mean. Education is a foundation for healthy development throughout one's lifespan. It means the freedom to think, create, play and imagine. It is learning about...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Special Educational Needs (12 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive response. There are parts of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs, EPSEN, Act that have not been commenced but there are also parts that need to be amended. I obviously agree that the transfer from one school to another at the request of the parties does not fall into the idea of a breakdown. I refer to schools...

- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for attending. I will speak on amendment No. 60 concerning emissions and companies. I have spoken about this topic several times in this Chamber and I have also had some engagement with Departments on it. I would love to see it progressing as part of this legislation. Last Friday, I referred to an article in The Guardianwhich highlighted that 100 companies...
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for being in the Chamber. I would like to add my voice to that of Senator Higgins. I also support Sinn Féin's amendment on climate justice. Climate and climate justice is not a subject I have always felt comfortable with, and this definition has shown me the reason for that. I have always felt somewhat on the outside of the conversation on climate justice. I...
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: In 2017, The Guardianreleased its famous article referring to the fact that 100 companies are responsible for more than 70% of the world's emissions. Critics of the article pointed to the fact that if we did not buy what these companies were selling, they would go out of business or have to change their ways. The fact remains that it is simply not that easy. A just transition should be...
