Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Prevention of the Exploitation or Coercion of Surrogates and Intending Parents: Discussion (2 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their contributions. I have only a couple of questions. I do not have any questions for Ms Reid or Ms O'Shea. Their experiences and contributions speak for themselves and do not need adding to or teasing out. They were very eloquently put and powerful. I very much agree with Ms Reid that it must be an honour to be able to do this for somebody else. I think the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Prevention of the Exploitation or Coercion of Surrogates and Intending Parents: Discussion (2 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: What about the type of therapy that is provided in this area? I am asking Ms Ó Tuama only because people point to why people make decisions. I know why I make the decisions I make but, of course, it is always helpful to be able to bounce them off somebody in a room and so on. What type of therapeutic engagement is required in respect of somebody who is going to be a surrogate? Is it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Prevention of the Exploitation or Coercion of Surrogates and Intending Parents: Discussion (2 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: Brilliant. I have one more question. Let us say there is a woman who wants to be a surrogate and who, at some point in her life, may have came into contact with any sort of service, maybe a mental health service, or may have a particular diagnosis or an invisible disability. Is there any way there is any bias against or exclusion of people on that basis, not necessarily in respect of a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy: Surrogacy in Ireland and in Irish and International Law: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: I thank everyone for their presentations. I will get straight into the questions. We are looking internationally for those who have advanced a bit further in the surrogacy area. One thing that stands out, as it did in presentations this week and last, and causes my working-class woman's senses to start bouncing is talk about criteria. Mr. Vaughn mentioned criminal records and not being on...

Seanad: Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: I welcome the Minister of State to the Chamber. In speaking to this grouping, which deals with his amendments, I wish to outline my opposition to the way in which the amendments have been brought forward. The guillotining of this debate is in my view disrespectful to our roles as Senators and legislators. The changes being made are significant and were not subjected to scrutiny by the...

Seanad: Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: I will be brief because we have many amendments to get through. If we do not get some of them on the record, we may not have the opportunity on Report Stage to table similar amendments. Our amendment in this group, amendment No. 36, would allow the Minister to make regulations to exclude an environmental levy charge on customers for certain single-use items where those items are required by...

Seanad: Circular Economy, Waste Management (Amendment) and Minerals Development (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2022)

Lynn Ruane: Amendment No. 9 seeks to include transport, including aviation and shipping, in the sectors listed as sectors which shall be included in the circular economy strategy. According to the SEAI, transport is by far the largest source of energy-related CO2emissions in Ireland. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, in 2019, it was responsible for over 40% of energy-related CO2emissions. The Minister of...
