- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: Amendment No. 80 provides that in preparing a strategic development plan under section 61, designated higher education institutions must consult with trade union representatives of both academic and professional staff. It goes without saying that union representatives are important in the conversation on boards. As for the potential for them not to be represented on boards due to the way...

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Chairman. That is much appreciated. The lads who featured on the podcast that won the award would not be strangers to many of the issues we are discussing today. They are men who have engaged with the justice system and spent time in and out of prison but who have also experienced many of the things we are discussing today. This session sits somewhat uncomfortably with me...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I will get one more point in first. The other thing I wanted to ask about is the trauma-related piece. Sometimes the trauma is not obvious when kids go into foster care at six, seven or eight years of age. They reach the age of 12 or 13 and start to think and see the unfairness and injustice, and then the trauma emerges. There are foster parents with whom I have been working for years....
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: It is unfortunate the witnesses did not acknowledge any of the issues, even in the slightest way, with some foster placements and the overreach of some foster carers. Much of what they said is right but their response, in many ways, proves my point. All the blame was put on the parental aspect and the child's trauma, and not on the fact that many foster carers do not understand complex...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: There is also a lot of bias in the placements. With regard to the incident in Cherry Orchard yesterday, I watched three foster carers. The children involved in the incident, whom we may call hooligans or low-life, are the children who will probably encounter services like those in question. There is a huge amount of unconscious bias against working-class kids and others who end up in...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I welcome the comments of Senators Flynn and Ardagh. I am always apprehensive about speaking on these issues because some people would like to think that we are condoning behaviour when we are not. People can call out behaviour as wrong. What happened in Cherry Orchard is wrong. How we challenge that is a whole different story. How we speak about and understand it is much more nuanced...
- Seanad: Institutional Burials Act 2022 (Director of Authorised Intervention, Tuam) Order 2022: Motion (21 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I welcome the Minister to the Chamber. I rise today in support of the motion which will see the establishment of the office of authorised intervention that will oversee the excavation, recovery, analysis, identification where possible, and appropriate reinterment of the infant remains located at the site of the former mother and baby institution in Tuam, County Galway. This is a development...
- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: We have tabled a couple of amendments to this section. I will make a few comments specifically on amendment No. 94, which seeks to amend section 66(1) by proposing that the chief executive officer would impose on a designated institution of higher education a requirement to take a remedial or other measure or measures in accordance with this section, if he or she makes a determination that...
- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (21 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for his engagement on this. Some of my fears have been put to rest by the fact that we can potentially look at the appeals mechanism and the powers within that to ensure that there will be an impact assessment on how a financial decision will be made against a college and on whom it will or will not impact. I ask the Minister if, during the ongoing work, we can continue...
