- Seanad: Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Report Stage (Resumed) (27 Nov 2019)
Rónán Mullen: This may end up being voted on. I am only interjecting to the extent that Senator McDowell is willing to facilitate my understanding of this. If I understand correctly, from what Senator McDowell is saying, a person who practised as a barrister or solicitor in a foreign jurisdiction more than 15 years previously and has not done so for 15 years is not deemed tainted, so it is the equivalent...

Rónán Mullen: Last week, the Joint Committee on Health had an opportunity to question the leadership of the Irish Wheelchair Association regarding the proposed closure of Cuisle.I commend those who gathered in Roscommon on Saturday to protest against the proposed closure.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion (21 Nov 2019)
Rónán Mullen: I thank our guests for appearing before the committee. Mr. Cunningham moved quickly from talking about asbestos to heating and was at pains to talk about the possibility that the cost might be much higher than €1.15 million. Is there any substantial expert opinion to suggest there could be unknown high costs associated with asbestos?

Towards the end of the IWA's presentation, however, I heard the alternative, on which we have not heard much detail, being presented as progressive and innovative, as if to suggest that what is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion (21 Nov 2019)
Rónán Mullen: On funding to save Cuisle, our guests mentioned they had engaged with the State but were vague in their presentation. They talked about two years of trying to find an alternative solution. Did the IWA ask the Divine Word Missionaries to become involved, or for any other source of private funding to assist in a rescue effort?
