- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (20 Oct 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I echo everything that Senator Higgins has said. Under the 2002 EU directive, the facilitator of entry and transit does not need to have obtained any financial benefit from smuggling in order for it to be considered a crime. However, Article 6.1 of the protocol requires that the act be for financial gain or other material benefit. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has gone...

Lynn Ruane: I welcome back the Minister of State. I will be brief on these amendments. We covered them a lot on the previous Stage of the Bill. They go back to the recommendation IHREC made.We spoke a great deal in the last session about the journey of a smuggled person and people obviously do not take that journey very lightly. The Journalreported a number of weeks ago that on 18 July people were...
- Seanad: Criminal Justice (Smuggling of Persons) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (20 Oct 2021)
Lynn Ruane: The most basic entitlement that people deserve and which this Bill seeks to protect is to be treated with respect and dignity. This starts with the training of the people who will be the first responders to anybody who enters this country. The Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, GRETA, committee recently recommended that Irish authorities...

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Oct 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank our guests for being here today. I appreciate their testimony. I will ask my first question of the representatives of In It Together - Who Am I? False records have been already spoken about a lot. The current provisions of the Bill refer to affected persons as those whose entry in the register of births was made before 31 December 1970, and that cut-off mark is obviously...

Lynn Ruane: I thank Ms Wallace. I have a quick question for Ms McEvoy. The submission speaks very much to terminology and language. Will the witness speak to how the language in the legislation has framed a particular narrative with the Bill? She mentioned that the term "birth mother" could be seen as offensive. We can see it now and that should not have to be pointed out. When it is, we can see...

BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion (19 Oct 2021) Lynn Ruane: I thank Senator Black for giving over her slot to me today. I wrote recently to the committee to ask it to begin to look at this module in the next while and I am very grateful to the committee for inviting me today. A few comments have confused me a little today. Mention was made of “below the age of 40”, “below the age of 35” or even “below the age of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: BreastCheck and National Cancer Control Programme: HSE
BreastCheck Screening Programme and Improving Outcomes for Breast Cancer: Discussion (19 Oct 2021) Lynn Ruane: Are there statistics relating to the demographics of the women? The submission mentions prevention and awareness and it speaks to environmental factors. Is the class of the women a factor in the high number of women I know in this regard, if we take in environmental factors?
