Lynn Ruane: In 2019.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Yes.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I am sorry to interrupt, but I have a small amount of time, so if I can just-----

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: If there was information beyond the risk of the perpetrator, was there information on the potential that there was a cover-up?

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Referring to the time between the chid safeguarding statement being given and being aware that there were potential issues with people covering potential abuse up, was the child safeguarding statement given before or after Tusla had an awareness from victims that there were wider concerns about people within the organisation?

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: That is what I was going to ask. When referring a matter to An Garda Síochána relating to a perpetrator, where is the scope when it comes to measuring risk in also referring other members or board structures to An Garda Síochána? On the one hand, there is an alleged perpetrator but, on the other, there is complete negligence where there is the potentiality that people...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: But not in relation to the failings of the other members of the organisation.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I think I understand all of that. Forgetting being political for a moment, and just thinking, say, as a parent with a child in an organisation, if I became aware that there were allegations that people who worked and still work in that organisation who, potentially for many decades, turned a blind eye to abuse, would I feel my child is not at risk because the perpetrator of the abuse is not...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I have been listening very carefully and struggling to differentiate what has been interrupted and what has not. There seems to be some conversation that is skirting on being allowed to ask particular questions and I do not see the difference between it and the ones that were interrupted. If I cross over into that, it is because I am struggling to figure out what is permissible. There is...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Before moving to Mr. Brophy, in light of the Dr. Geoffrey Shannon report, have there been further referrals to An Garda Síochána?

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Possible Enhancement of Child Protection Powers of Tusla: Discussion (25 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: For clarification, I will return to no current risk. Let us forget the organisation for a moment but recognise that there are still potentially some members within the organisation and in power and decision-making roles who it is alleged may have covered up. They were very aware of and sang songs about it. There were all these different statements in the report. Are they not a current...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I am asking for potential statements, maybe before the summer, on the use of AI in Ireland. I cannot speak for others but it causes me a high level if anxiety because no matter how much I read and try to understand it, I find it hard to grasp and grab. As legislators, we need to start creating space for conversations about it. We cannot only have conversations when legislation is coming...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Thank you.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (19 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I second the proposal.

Lynn Ruane: I second the amendment.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work: Discussion (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank everyone for their presentations. It is a nice addition to the last session, which focused heavily on the principles of youth work and what youth work is. Today's session focuses on why we have not been able to concentrate on actual youth work. We found ourselves, for example, talking about food. That is not really a discussion about what youth work is. However, the need is...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work: Discussion (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I have one or two small points but only if Ms Cunningham is finished.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work: Discussion (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: First, I would like to pick back up on the Garda vetting piece that was previously mentioned. Although I fully support Garda vetting, it is a little unfair to say that if someone is worried about Garda vetting they are probably not suited. People are worried because they have to divulge particular aspects of their lives to a potential employer but they may be completely irrelevant to the...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work: Discussion (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Discretion - exactly.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work: Discussion (18 Apr 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I know. It was just to clarify.
