- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (12 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I understand that and I will be very brief. Is Mr. Flanagan saying that legislation would be needed to activate the OMP assessment pathway envisaged in the 2014 national rare disease plan? If not, are there any remaining obstacles? Is there unfinished work set out in the plan that ought to have been completed by now? Were Ireland to match Germany in the provision of orphan medicines at...

Rónán Mullen: Is there undone work that was envisaged in the 2014-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (12 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I did ask the question very specifically. A lot of other extraneous issues have been brought up here. I am dealing with the issue of orphan medicinal products. I asked the witnesses if there is undone work in terms of the 2014 national rare disease plan and if this is the case, why? I also want to know if Ireland were to provide the drugs on the same basis as is done in Germany, so that...
- Seanad: Order of Business (13 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: There was a debate on public broadcasting in this House some weeks ago and, because of my involvement in other business, I was unable to take part in it. A subject that has not been well covered in these Houses and which needs some attention is the question of diversity within our public broadcaster. One of the most striking aspects of Irish television news programming currently is the...

Rónán Mullen: There will not be a filibuster from the Chair, I presume.
- Seanad: Mediation Bill 2017: Second Stage (18 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: Ba bhreá liom fáilte a chur roimh an Aire. I wish him the very best in his new brief. Mediation is not a new concept. It has been in operation across various sectors in the State, as has been said, and it is an appropriate mechanism for various parties to arrange mutually acceptable solutions in different types of rows or disputes. This Bill is very welcome. It is a long time...

Rónán Mullen: There are still some.
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I join others in thanking the staff for all they do for us. I also wish colleagues well heading into the break. When we read things in the newspapers, we often wonder whether what we are reading is actually true. It sometimes turns out that the newspapers have not given the full story. Occasionally, there can be enough evidence in what is stated in a newspaper to give us serious cause for...
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I am operating on the assumption that The Irish Timeswhich reported on the case is not playing silly buggers and that there is not some untold part of the story that would cast a reasonable light on the entire episode. If what The Irish Timeshas told us is true, we need to ask whether Garda immigration officers are acting in an unnecessarily hostile fashion when people who have a perfect...
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Jul 2017)
Rónán Mullen: The criticism of the Government and the Minister's reluctance to embrace the spirit of the Bill was justified and I have that in my mind as I raise this serious issue, but I know that I cannot easily get an answer today. I am worried about what Ireland has become and, especially, our attitude towards strangers and people who are potentially vulnerable. The woman in this case is perfectly...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Engagement with Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, Citizens' Assembly (20 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I welcome Ms Justice Laffoy, Ms Finegan and Ms Hynes. Ms Justice Laffoy stressed that, in her view, this was a thorough process and she used the term "neutral expert witnesses". I do not understand, however, why the assembly did not set out to consider how the eighth amendment had contributed to abortion rates in Ireland being significantly lower than most countries or the very obvious...

- Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Craoltóireacht in Éirinn trí mheán na Gaeilge: Díospóireacht (Atógáil) (26 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe agus gabhaim buíochas leo. Tá cúpla ceist agam. Gabh mo leithscéal nár thuig mé sleamhnán 17 den chur i láthair. An bhféadfadh na finnéithe é sin a mhíniú dúinn beagáinín? Is é sin an sleamhnán dar teidil "Ag cur stad le síor-thitim agus fás...

Rónán Mullen: Cad é an príomhfáth go raibh an titim sin ann ó 3.2% go 1.8%? Céard a tharla?

Rónán Mullen: An bhféadfainn ceist eile a chur le cead an Chathaoirligh? I dtosach báire, tréaslaím le TG4. Is duine mise a bhaineann an-taitneamh as. Táim an-tógtha leis an éagsúlacht atá le fáil ar TG4. Fan liom leis an gceist seo. Amanta breathnaím ar "Ceol Tíre". Is cuimhin liom laethanta m'óige féin ina bhfeicfí Brendan...
