Rónán Mullen: The Chairman is entitled to have whatever discussion she wants in private if that is the will of the committee but other members of the committee who might believe that everything should be carried out in public are entitled to seek to transact the business of the committee in public. I certainly want to make it clear that I did not agree, privately or otherwise, to our progressing to this point.

Rónán Mullen: I believed that I was coming to consider a procedural vote on what was then Deputy Kelleher's proposal that there be a deferral of any consideration of questions of a more substantial nature until the second module was out of the way. I understand why it can be necessary to have meetings in private session to allow people to, for example, avail of legal advice. Not everyone has the same...

Rónán Mullen: I have to go to Galway. I will at some point check what Senator Buttimer said. I hope the Chairman does not think I have ever been unfair to her. I think this process is a disgrace. The Chairman is presiding over it but she is nonetheless a very courteous person.

Rónán Mullen: I thank the Chairman. I am very grateful to her for affording me this opportunity and I will be brief.I note that Dr. Peter Boylan sent in an email today just before the Committee met, relating to last week’s proceedings. I also note that you read his email into the record at today’s first session of the Committee. [I have no problem with that] I believe that Dr. Boylan has...

Rónán Mullen: I assumed that Deputy Kelleher was not referring to me, so I thank him for clarifying that. Dr. Boylan's email reached me very shortly before the committee today. It is the Chairman's call to read it into the record so soon. As I have said, I have no issue with that. A longer period of time has elapsed before I got my response in and this is why I am very grateful to the committee for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution: Business of Joint Committee (8 Nov 2017)
Rónán Mullen: I thank the Chairman. We appear to lack a procedure to allow an intervention at a relevant point because I merely sought and wish to know and request that the Chairman would read the letters into the record, the letters from Dr. McCaffrey and the letter from Both Lives Matter. I think it is as relevant to the work of this committee that people who were invited give their particular reason....
