Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Sustainable Development Goals and Departmental Priorities: Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (3 Nov 2020)

Lynn Ruane: The written statement that we have is slightly different to the statement that the Minister made at the outset. In that written statement, he stated that he planned to examine the possibility of including a new discrimination ground of socioeconomic status in equality legislation. I have advocated on this issue for many years and am concerned by the weakness of that commitment, in light of...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Child Abuse (22 Oct 2020)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for being here this morning. It is never an easy topic to talk about and I am aware that the Minister is probably well briefed on the issue that I am talking about this morning. I will begin by saying that when I speak this morning to the subject, I am speaking about historic abuse in terms of St. John Ambulance. I am not speaking to any particular cases that are...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Child Abuse (22 Oct 2020)

Lynn Ruane: I appreciate the Minister's response. It is comforting to know that conversations are happening in the background on how we can move forward and pursue this, even in terms of answering my request about an inquiry. I would like to put on the record why I mentioned a scoping inquiry. I looked at the Scally report, which I know related to CervicalCheck and which is a different issue, and it...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Oct 2020)

Lynn Ruane: First, I would like to second Senator Ward's contribution on the changing of names. I have no interest in changing my daughters' names, but I have come up against the obstacles and complications that the Senator has highlighted. I have had many conversations on this issue. One stands out more than the others because it took place at passport control. I have one daughter who is a Wallace,...

Seanad: Investment Limited Partnerships (Amendment) Bill 2020: Committee Stage (Resumed) (22 Oct 2020)

Lynn Ruane: I wish to speak briefly on section 7 to ensure I can revisit some issues on Report Stage. I oppose this section because it proposes to extend section 6(4) of the Investment Limited Partnerships Act 1994 in a way that allows for the participation of limited partners in an advisory committee or gives limited partners the right to appoint someone to this position. This creates the new...

I will begin with some thanks. First, I thank my colleagues in the Civil Engagement Group for facilitating this debate today and for sponsoring this Bill with me. This was legislation I introduced in the...
