- Seanad: Policing, Security and Community Safety Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2023)
Lynn Ruane: I move amendment No. 50: In page 71, to delete lines 5 and 6. This suite of amendments seeks the deletion of the provision in multiple sections of the Bill that prevents certain public representatives from questioning or expressing an opinion on Government policy or the objectives of such policy. This provision usually arises in circumstances where the public representative is called to...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I am glad Mr. Dolan referred to the safeguards being non-legislative. It is what I wrote down on a page at the start of this meeting when I was trying to understand this context. We considered having these sessions with the idea that witnesses would come in and give us an insight as to what safeguards would protect people if legislation were...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: The terminal illness could be an extension of the disability.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: Or the terminal diagnosis might. I am saying it might be. If you carve that out, you could have a terminal illness and a disability.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: That is easier to figure out. The one that is harder to figure out is if you have a disability and the terminal diagnosis is an extension of that - it depends on the disability you have. The terminal illness comes as an extension, you have particular organ failure, for example, your lungs are giving up. They are all based on the disability, so I wonder how you create a framework that does...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: What I am struggling with is that it is very hard to think about a system that excludes people based on disability. It is also very hard to think of an assisted dying system that does not have safeguards outside of legislation. There is something we are missing in terms of being able to look at those things in parallel to each other, or as one thing after the other. It is something that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I want to make a comment, and then I will have one question. I want to pick up on what Senator Clonan said on legislation not mattering. I think we need to clarify that. The conversation I thought we were having was about that legislation, in terms of safeguards, being siloed into assisted dying, and that is where the legislation exists. It is not legislation for disability rights and...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: Okay.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: Okay. So Mr. Kearns means from a public or support perception, rather than the Oireachtas participation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I get it now. That is all I wanted to ask.
- Seanad: An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (An Teaghlach), 2023: Céim an Choiste agus na Céimeanna a bheidh Fágtha - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (The Family) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (23 Jan 2024)
Lynn Ruane: Amendments Nos. 6 to 9, inclusive, are similar in nature but they feature different wording as compromises. Sometimes you do not realise how personal a situation is until you have to engage with it in the moment. Although you know it is in the background, you are just trying to move through it. Our first amendment changes the phrasing to “including but not limited to Families...

Lynn Ruane: It is Sharon. There is no point saying "No"; I lived it.

Lynn Ruane: Sorry, it does discriminate.
