Lynn Ruane: Is it though? It is still criminal justice-led because it still allows people to be stopped and searched.
- Committee on Drugs Use: Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion (13 Jun 2024)

- Committee on Drugs Use: Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion (13 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: That is saying two different things, because if we want to take it out of the criminal justice system, then we also want to take it out of policing. We cannot uncouple policing of people on the street and possession of drugs in the criminal justice system.

- Committee on Drugs Use: Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion (13 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: It is a referral. Since it does not involve a court system, have the police power to compel somebody to go to a diversion service?
- Committee on Drugs Use: Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion (13 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I believe that everyone is in agreement that the housing issue will come up and especially in the work of Dr. Ivers around that recovery capital piece. If the person cannot access housing then he or she is already at a deficit. Drugs possession is in the most serious category. No matter how simple the possession is, it is currently in the category with serious sexual crimes, murder, and...

Lynn Ruane: That did not answer the query about an alternative question that only looked at the models used in the likes of Malta and Germany rather than legalisation in a universal sense. They are different questions.

Lynn Ruane: I was just checking. I thank the witnesses. This meeting has been informative. It makes sense that they be the first people in the room over the coming seven months. I thank them for their work and the clarity they have provided so far. We are grateful. I ask committee members to remain in the room so that we might go into private session. We will then adjourn until Thursday, 20...
- Seanad: International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (19 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: The Minister is very welcome. I have been listening to some of the comments. I would obviously like to add my voice to that of Senator Higgins in the context of how well she captured some of the larger problems at play with regard to seeing where we stand. Especially since things have escalated in Palestine, I found myself going back to read Hegel in order to try to understand how progress...

Lynn Ruane: The Minister has made a few unfair comments. It is unfair because we have hardly had the opportunity to engage in-----
- Seanad: International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Motion (19 Jun 2024)
Lynn Ruane: It is an unfair accusation. There are plenty of bodies that have tried to put forward a solution.
