Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I will need to double-check my information about the Departments. It is an amazing idea. As a young person, I basically had an unofficial apprenticeship in my community. It is important. Be it the Department Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, which our committee relates to, the Department of Education or the Department of Social Protection, someone needs to take...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Lynn Ruane: We did not get that programme. That is why.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Youth Work and Integrated Care and Education: Discussion (21 Mar 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I speak not as a politician but as a resident of Tallaght west because I was a young person who needed services. The standard to which I hold services is fairly high and I am fairly intolerant of services that do not go above and beyond for young people. I have to say what I have noticed in the 11 months that Connect 4 has been in Tallaght west. I am still very involved with my community....

Seanad: Independent Review of the Handling of Past Complaints of Abuse in St John Ambulance Ireland: Motion (29 Mar 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for being in the Chamber. I rise in support of this motion. I thank the Fine Gael Senators, including Senators Seery Kearney and Doherty, for introducing it to the Chamber for debate this afternoon. I will begin by commending Mick Finnegan, Paul Mulholland, Martin Hoey, Mark Pender and the other victims and survivors of the abuse that was perpetrated within St. John...

Lynn Ruane: I second the amendment.

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.

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.

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

Lynn Ruane: We just need to communicate that more across different sectors. Drug possession is in the same category as murder, rape and sexual assault so when it comes back on the Garda vetting, sometimes people just look at the category it is captured in. Having been in possession of €20 worth of cannabis in the 1990s could all of a sudden prohibit someone from a job later in life because it is...

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

Lynn Ruane: I second the proposal.

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?
