Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I echo the recommendation that everyone visits the Rediscovery Centre. When I worked in Global Action Plan in Ballymun, I worked closely with Dr. Miller and the Rediscovery Centre. It is an incredible resource. I was going to say I was happy the Minister of State was in the Gallery because of what I was going to speak about today. I will not have the opportunity to speak during the...

Lynn Boylan: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire. I welcome the families of the victims of the Stardust fire to the Chamber. I am proud to introduce the Bill but I would prefer that it was not necessary to do so. The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Coroners Act of 1962 to facilitate a transparent process of jury selection similar to the process that...

Seanad: Coroners (Provision for Jury Selection) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (23 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank the Minister for her very open statement and her reassurances that she will work to achieve what is in the spirit of the Bill. I know the Bill is not perfect, given the nature of the issue and timescale in which it was presented, but at least the Minister is listening to the concerns that have been raised by the families. I know the coroner herself, Dr. Myra Cullinane, has...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wildlife Protection (24 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. I am sure that at this point the Minister of State is aware of the existence of two separate reports outlining where the OPW has clearly breached wildlife protection laws, in both Emo Court, County Laois and Barryscourt Castle, County Cork, by disturbing bat roosts without the proper derogation licence. Before I get into the details of the Emo...

Lynn Boylan: This is what I received from the Department.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wildlife Protection (24 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I have the respect to show the Minister of State what I received when I put in a freedom of information request.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wildlife Protection (24 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I will proceed. However, as I said, the freedom of information request was heavily redacted. We know that the facts are that in 2019, an ecologist report was produced on the works that were requested to be done on Emo Court. The report stated that the works could not go ahead because the mitigation could not ensure the safety of the bat roost. Despite that report, the OPW carried on with...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wildlife Protection (24 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank the Minister of State for his lengthy response. I disagree with him. This is not specific to Emo Court. Barryscourt Castle is in the same position in that works were carried out there in 2016 but a bat expert was not hired until 2020. With all due respect to the Minister of State, the timelines do not add up. The works in 2019 were not emergency works. At the time the works were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013: Post-Enactment Scrutiny (Resumed) (23 Feb 2022)

Lynn Boylan: I thank the Chairman. I appreciate that. I know the work Dr. Kirby is doing with PetBond is exceptional. I recommend anybody who wants to buy a puppy to avail of the support of that site. Surgical artificial insemination is a very invasive procedure, even if carried out by a vet. There are also the more concerning issues raised by Dr. Kirby, namely, the possibility that this is happening...
