- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Special Educational Needs (12 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for taking the time to come into the Seanad this morning. Education is of critical importance to children and young people but education is about more than just schooling, as many perceive it to mean. Education is a foundation for healthy development throughout one's lifespan. It means the freedom to think, create, play and imagine. It is learning about...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Special Educational Needs (12 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive response. There are parts of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs, EPSEN, Act that have not been commenced but there are also parts that need to be amended. I obviously agree that the transfer from one school to another at the request of the parties does not fall into the idea of a breakdown. I refer to schools...

- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister of State for attending. I will speak on amendment No. 60 concerning emissions and companies. I have spoken about this topic several times in this Chamber and I have also had some engagement with Departments on it. I would love to see it progressing as part of this legislation. Last Friday, I referred to an article in The Guardianwhich highlighted that 100 companies...
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for being in the Chamber. I would like to add my voice to that of Senator Higgins. I also support Sinn Féin's amendment on climate justice. Climate and climate justice is not a subject I have always felt comfortable with, and this definition has shown me the reason for that. I have always felt somewhat on the outside of the conversation on climate justice. I...
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: In 2017, The Guardianreleased its famous article referring to the fact that 100 companies are responsible for more than 70% of the world's emissions. Critics of the article pointed to the fact that if we did not buy what these companies were selling, they would go out of business or have to change their ways. The fact remains that it is simply not that easy. A just transition should be...
- Seanad: Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (2 Jul 2021)
Lynn Ruane: With all due respect to Senator O'Reilly, it is important to say that, even though many definitions are being put forward, we have not put forward so many because they are difficult to draft. There is one which is our number one priority and which we stand over as the strongest definition. The others represent compromise and further compromise in the hope that, if our preferred solution is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021 (29 Jun 2021)
Lynn Ruane: I am located in Leinster House. I thank the witnesses for their contributions today. I have been engaging on this legislation since I was first elected in 2016. It has been a long conversation, never mind all the conversations that took place in this area in the ten, 20 and 30 years before that. Having come to the issue with new eyes as a legislator, it seems to me that many of the...
