Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: I second the proposed amendment regarding Senator Warfield's Bill on naming the children’s hospital after Dr. Kathleen Lynn. She is my personal hero and, as Senator Warfield said, she was one of the founders of St. Ultan's Hospital, the first infant hospital in Ireland. She was motivated by the abject poverty and treatment of women in this country. It was interesting that the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that No. 11 be taken before No. 1. No. 11 is a Bill I am seeking to introduce to ban fossil fuel advertising. We know that fossil fuel companies have been using renewable energy in advertisements showing wind turbines and solar panels to effectively greenwash what their actual activities are. For example, Shell has absolutely no plans to...

Seanad: Seachtain na Gaeilge: Ráitis (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Chathaoirleach Gníomhach. Tá brón orm ach níl Gaeilge mhaith agam. Táim ag foghlaim agus táim ar 349 ar Duolingo. B'fhéidir an bhliain seo chugainn go mbeidh mé ag caint fully as Gaeilge. Sinn Féin is committed to the restoration of Irish to use as a spoken language in communities nationwide and as a primary...

Seanad: Private Rental Sector: Motion (6 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: As my colleague said, the dire state of the private rental sector remains a crisis and the Government has failed to grasp it. Speaking to people when out on the doors, those in the private rental sector are fed up, frustrated and they do not have security of tenure. I also end up talking to the adult children living in their parents homes about how desperate that situation is. We cannot...

Seanad: Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Mar 2024)

Lynn Boylan: Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit. To echo what others said, there is an added urgency to the passing of the Bill. That was reflected in the Dáil debate in May of last year. At that time, speakers to this Bill spoke about the impact of delays in court proceedings, in particular, trials of people accused of very serious crimes. The delays have immediate consequences for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Lynn Boylan: One of the things we know is that farmers are really struggling at the moment to get a fair price for their products. Equally, households are really struggling with the prices they are paying at the supermarkets. My understanding of this is that sustainability agreements are one way to try to get around those large supermarkets that are setting the price and getting a premium, so that if a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Antitrust Guidelines for Sustainability Agreements in Agriculture: Discussion (10 Apr 2024)

Lynn Boylan: I do not know if anyone else wants to come in. Please forgive me if this comes across as a stupid question. I understand the contract. Contract is contract law, but then surely it is binding if it is contract law. Ms Jany-Roskova is saying that if this is inter-EU and not just Irish-based, that is, if there are other member states involved, then it becomes an EU Commission problem. If,...
