Lynn Ruane: Hang on. That is a very gendered comment to make. All I said was that is not about mothers but that it is about women, and he told me to calm down.

Lynn Ruane: It is hard to know where to begin but I would like to make a comment. It is regrettable that Senator McDowell turned around and told me to "Calm down" for making a comment on a section of the Constitution. I watched his engagement back and forth with other male Senators. I watched him interrupt the Minister. It was extremely gendered to turn around and say that, whether he wants to admit...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Healthcare Professionals and Assisted Dying: Discussion (23 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank everyone for their presentations. There is legislation coming up in the Seanad on a referendum Bill, so I will have to leave during the session and I want to apologise in advance. Regarding the contributions, I am interested in chatting with Dr. Allcroft. Much conversation over the last while has been about how important and valuable palliative care is, but there seems to be some...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I am glad Mr. Dolan referred to the safeguards being non-legislative. It is what I wrote down on a page at the start of this meeting when I was trying to understand this context. We considered having these sessions with the idea that witnesses would come in and give us an insight as to what safeguards would protect people if legislation were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: The terminal illness could be an extension of the disability.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Or the terminal diagnosis might. I am saying it might be. If you carve that out, you could have a terminal illness and a disability.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: That is easier to figure out. The one that is harder to figure out is if you have a disability and the terminal diagnosis is an extension of that - it depends on the disability you have. The terminal illness comes as an extension, you have particular organ failure, for example, your lungs are giving up. They are all based on the disability, so I wonder how you create a framework that does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: What I am struggling with is that it is very hard to think about a system that excludes people based on disability. It is also very hard to think of an assisted dying system that does not have safeguards outside of legislation. There is something we are missing in terms of being able to look at those things in parallel to each other, or as one thing after the other. It is something that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I want to make a comment, and then I will have one question. I want to pick up on what Senator Clonan said on legislation not mattering. I think we need to clarify that. The conversation I thought we were having was about that legislation, in terms of safeguards, being siloed into assisted dying, and that is where the legislation exists. It is not legislation for disability rights and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Okay. So Mr. Kearns means from a public or support perception, rather than the Oireachtas participation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Engagement with People with Disabilities (16 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I get it now. That is all I wanted to ask.
