Rónán Mullen: B’fhéidir go bhfuil mé ag dul amú, ach cheapfainn go gcothódh sé sin fadhbanna maidir le sceidil ama agus an amchláir i scoileanna freisin. Ar an mbunús sin, cén seasamh ar ghlac na ceardchumainn maidir leis seo? An raibh siad le cloisteáil faoi in aon chor?

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Díolúine ó Staidéar na Gaeilge: Plé (22 Oct 2019)

Rónán Mullen: Laistigh den 66%, bheadh go leor díobh ann. Is é atá a rá ag an Ollamh Nic Eoin ná go mbeadh fáth ar leith nach mbeadh an Ghaeilge riachtanach dóibh siúd ach go mbeadh ar a gcumas teangacha eile a fhoghlaim. Luaigh ár bhfinnéithe an chaoi a raibh an ceistneoir claonta i dtreo na moltaí. Tuigim go dtarlaíonn sé sin ó am...

Rónán Mullen: Celebrating the budget.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (9 Oct 2019)

Rónán Mullen: I would rather export our paintings than our people. At a time when there is considerable uncertainty about the future of the national finances, we should be careful about calling on the Government to engage in yet more public expenditure just to keep paintings in Ireland. It might not be our first priority, I would suggest. I want to echo and welcome what Senator Coffey said about the...

Seanad: Education (Student and Parent Charter) Bill 2019: Second Stage (2 Oct 2019)

Rónán Mullen: Cuirim fáilte arís roimh an Aire. It is important to recognise that to most schools a student charter is nothing new and the substance of what is being proposed is happening in practice without any State intervention. There is certainly something to be said for codifying the practice across all schools to ensure best practice. We need to ensure that we are doing this in a way...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: Senator Craughwell's point was exactly as the Cathaoirleach described. I heard the Senator too. There is a difference between admiring Greta Thunberg's commitment and concern and being concerned about those who manage her presence in the public forum and for her welfare.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: There is also a tendency not to help young people beyond a position of hysteria in relation to this issue. We are in a serious situation where young people are giving great leadership but we owe it to them always to show that there is hope for the future as well. That needs to come out more in the media. On a matter of significant public concern, there has been talk about the Government's...

Rónán Mullen: I am very happy-----

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: I would be very happy to have a debate on this issue at this point, given that we have had the clamour from the Government and supporters of abortion to have legislation. The Minister, rightly, disclosed to us the Garda Commissioner's clear advice that the proposed zones are not necessary. The Minister, nonetheless, clings to the view that he still wants to legislate. What is also...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: Now Ms Dulgheriu is doing the same good Samaritan kind of work herself.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: It is really unfortunate that the Minister for Health and his staff are not interested in meeting such people. Instead, they seem to be in hock to the abortion industry and only interested in depicting opposition to abortion, publicly expressed, as something that is somehow hostile or denigratory when what is clear from the Garda Commissioner's letter is that it is very much the opposite....

Rónán Mullen: The Minister's official said it was a peaceful prayer vigil. That is how she described it.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2019)

Rónán Mullen: I always do. Perhaps we could introduce the tradition of asking to give way courteously, as they do in the House of Commons. I always give way to the Leader.
