Lynn Ruane: Entitled to aftercare.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Challenges Facing Refugee and Migrant Children in Ireland: Discussion (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Could that come with an amnesty? I am aware that people may be frightened of being followed around the country, in the sense of there being a fear of being sent back. Perhaps they are waiting on an appeal; there could be a lot of fear around that. Something like that would require an amnesty of some sort so that it is only the healthcare professionals who would have access to that...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I move: “That Seanad Éireann: recognises that: - seeking asylum is a fundamental right under the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol; - every person’s right to seek asylum in a safe country is enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights; notes with concern that: - an estimated 27,000...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I am sharing time with Senator Black. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, to the House. The Civil Engagement Group has tabled this motion because for a long time we have been deeply concerned about the way in which Europe has hardened its borders over the past decade, in our capacity as both European citizens and European parliamentarians. As Europeans, this hardening of borders...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I also note that many European politicians decried the role of traffickers in the shipwreck that occurred near Greece this month. Let us be very clear; the best way to combat trafficking is to ensure safe routes so that people can have their asylum claims heard in Europe.If safe routes were provided, traffickers would have no business model and so it is the duty of Europe to provide those...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I find it absolutely infuriating to listen to people in the one breath talk about the value of life, the value of migrants, how they should be treated, the value of their work and contributions when they get here and then, on the other hand stand with a European Union that does use EU money, through the trust fund for Africa, to intercept boats at sea. We can make the stretch and say that it...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Tell me how breaking the business model of smugglers has anything to do with search and rescue. We talk about the protection of vulnerable migrants, but it is as if they are not vulnerable unless they end up on our doorstep. We do not want to recognise their vulnerability in the sea. We do not want to recognise their vulnerability in the detention centres we are forcing them to stay in...

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: It does not matter how far back in the system we go; we are responsible. Today we have a Government, which is not supporting a motion that calls for search and rescue. How does that make sense? Does the Minister of State think a smuggler cares how many times we send people back to the detention centre? I am sure they are rubbing their hands at the prospect of another trip to be paid for....

Seanad: EU Migration: Motion [Private Members] (27 Jun 2023)

Lynn Ruane: It is not agreed

Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Committee Work Programme (4 Jul 2023)

Lynn Ruane: The Minister of State is very welcome. The work the committee is collectively undertaking is very important as part of the wider function of these Houses. I note the Minister of State stated "strong advice was received that the new process should not in any way hinder the completion of regulations to transpose these directives, as failure to do so on time can inevitably lead to the opening...

Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Committee Work Programme (4 Jul 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Legal Protections and Sanctions: Discussion (4 Jul 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I thank all of the witnesses for their contributions. In this first round I will probably speak mainly to Professor Huxtable. I read the paper he wrote, Splitting the Difference? Principled Compromise and Assisted Dying. It is matched by his submission, which states that arguments against assisted dying tend to rest on a number of claims. The claim among these that I will focus on is that...

Seanad: Seanad Electoral (University Members) (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (5 Jul 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I move amendment No. 1: In page 3, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “ “Act of 2022” means the Electoral Reform Act 2022;”. Amendment No. 1 is a technical amendment which defines references to the Act of 2022 as meaning the Electoral Reform Act 2022, which we propose to reference within amendments Nos. 11 to 13, inclusive, in the proposed...
