Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Yes, and it should just be released back to the authority.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: It should just go back to the State.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: It is just that some of this stuff was submitted by the Department.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I think the reduction of time and the sharing of information were what I was most looking for from the Bar. I think they have covered those.

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Ireland's International Obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the Chair. I apologise for having to leave. The justice committee is meeting now to consider the EU migration pact, so it is quite an important discussion. We have to kind of flip between the two rooms, so I do apologise. There are a few things I wish to raise. Obviously, there is the stuff that is in the report but I am wondering about the survey process. I think there were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I will look at minors specifically in a few cases. When we think of negatives and what we opt into, there are some concerns that relate to minors. The first point relates to the last point Deputy Daly made about Eurodac and security risks. Perhaps the Minister could give the committee an idea of the criteria that meet a security risk, such as particular offences. Of all the border...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: So if a child is picked up under the other security risk category, which the Minister says is more of a protection than seeking to turn a child away, what would happen detention-wise to those children who are flagged as a security risk? How would the care conditions for them be met?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: What about age-disputed minors? There are obviously lots of issues about how we determine the age of unaccompanied minors at present in Ireland. There are lots of questions around that. What if the minor is age-disputed?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Yes. There are reports in Ireland at the moment that age-disputed children are actually put into adult care settings. We obviously need to be sure.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Yes. The other question I have relates to the part on returns and not authorising entry. I am sorry but I do not want to misquote the section. There is a reference to misleading authorities, and that can act as a stand-alone reason for not authorising entry. In my view, that is extremely harsh. We have a lot of people coming from very distressed situations and being asked for information...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Currently, in Ireland we put people in prison for not having passports. We have people in detention right now for that exact reason, so I wonder how we are going to ensure that does not happen. The reference to misleading authorities is a concrete point if a person does not have documents but is there a definition provided? Are criteria listed for what constitutes "misleading information"?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Legal Aid Board: Chairperson Designate (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank Ms Egan for her presentation. She referred to the salary scales there. Is she saying there is potential flexibility to start on a different point of the same scale or are two different scales used?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Legal Aid Board: Chairperson Designate (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: They are the same scales but there is flexibility in respect of the point of the scale on which person starts.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Legal Aid Board: Chairperson Designate (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Thinking of access to justice being a fundamental human right, if the body responsible for prosecution already has favourable measurements in being able to keep up morale among its workforce and with pay, that creates an inequality compared with the body which is there to potentially advocate on behalf of people who have to defend themselves. The inequality in terms of being fair and just is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Legal Aid Board: Chairperson Designate (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: It is the same scale. Thank you.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank everyone for their presentations.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Much of it speaks to the concerns I have with the pact. When we think of international protection and asylum we should be thinking of enhancing people's rights. The pact is a punitive measure. It is not really about international protection. It is actually about detention. The moment we begin to speak about detention of any group, especially under the conditions that are laid out in the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (Resumed) (30 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Yes.
