Lynn Ruane: On a point of order, a Chathaoirligh Gníomhaigh, an assertion is being made that people have not stuck to the amendments and the Senator is misrepresenting the Senators in the Chamber.

Lynn Ruane: I am sorry, Acting Chairman, but Senator Malcolm Byrne has come in repeatedly to misrepresent our roles and to tell us how long we should and should not speak, in the first instance-----
- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jul 2022)
Lynn Ruane: It is absolutely atrocious that just because Opposition Senators are in here working hard and tabling amendments that somehow that is framed as a negative thing. There is something seriously wrong with a man from another party coming in here and telling us how to do our jobs.

Lynn Ruane: Senator Malcolm Byrne mentioned that an t-údarás is already fulfilling many of the aspects of what we seek to amend in this legislation.

The substance is prohibited and is still illegal, but the...

Lynn Ruane: Great. Portugal has had its model for 20 years. If that model was to be revisited now, 20 years on, as part of an examination of what Portugal has or has not done or what it could do better, would Dr. Capaz have any updated references to how it would do decriminalisation now? If it was looking at it again, what would it do? Twenty years is a long time for the framework to be in place.
