Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Women's Reproductive Health: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Rónán Mullen: It is one last quick question because it is International Women's Day. There is a problem internationally of gendercide in countries such as China, India, and the Caucasus regions where girls are aborted disproportionately because less value is placed on girls' lives. Does the UN oppose gender as a ground for abortion or is that also the parents' right to decide?

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2017)

Rónán Mullen: I echo to the word what Senator Dolan has just said and the way he said it. When I learned of the death of Mrs. Maureen Haughey, and I would like to be associated with messages of condolences to her family, I was struck by something that was said when her husband, Charles Haughey, died. At his funeral, RTE's John Bowman said that whatever one thought of his political views from all sides,...

Rónán Mullen: All those who have been bereaved or lost deserve to be remembered. A few Mondays ago the Capuchin day centre for homeless people hit a record high when it had 710 people for dinner.

Kevin Crowley, one of society's...

Rónán Mullen: I dtosach báire, ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh na finnéithe agus mo bhuíochas a ghabháil leo as bheith anseo. Is duine mise freisin a bhain taitneamh agus tairbhe as mo laethanta ollscoile i nGaillimh. Táim fíor-bhuíoch dairíre as na deiseanna a bhfuair mé i UCG, mar a bhí aithne ar an gcoláiste ag an am, ach go háirithe...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Riachtanas Gaeilge: Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh (4 Apr 2017)

Rónán Mullen: An nglacann Dr. Browne leis gur féidir idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir an coincheap sin - nár chóir go mbeadh lámh aige sa phróiseas ina gceapfar a chomarba - ach gur cheist mór polasaí é seo i ndairíre? Nach ceart go bhféadfaí a rá go raibh gá lena cheannaireacht ar thaobh amháin nó ar thaobh eile den cheist...

Rónán Mullen: Ceangailte leis an gcéad ceist, nach rachaidh sé leis an loighic, mar sin, gur chóir go bhfanfadh aon duine eile a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ag cur isteach ar an bpost amach anseo, cur i gcás ionadaí ón bhfoireann acadúil ar Údarás na hOllscoile, amach ón gcinneadh freisin?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Riachtanas Gaeilge: Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh (4 Apr 2017)

Rónán Mullen: Is mó an seans go mbeadh siadsan ag cur isteach ar an Dáil. Ar aon nós, fágfaimid an cheist sin. Níl mise i bhfad ar an gcoiste seo ach tá go leor cloiste agam cheana féin faoin difear idir an dlí atá ann, Acht na dTeangacha Oifigiúla agus araile, agus an neamhaird a dhéantar ar an dlí ag an am céanna - an teip atá ar...
