- Seanad: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform (Amendment) Bill 2019: Committee and Remaining Stages (3 Apr 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I have no intention of holding up the Bill. We can commit to continued engagement with the ECB but does the Minister of State think that conversation will conclude in time for the important measure in the original Bill to be debated in the Dáil? Does he envisage discussions with the ECB on its objection to this provision continuing for so long that it will not feature in the Bill even...
- Seanad: Wildlife (Amendment) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (2 Apr 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I move amendment No. 2:In page 3, lines 23 to 26, to delete all words from and including “and” in line 23 down to and including “(a))” in line 26. I thank the Minister of State for being here. I am moving this group of amendments on behalf of my colleague, Senator Grace O'Sullivan, who cannot be here today. Her amendments all aim to limit the scope of the...

- Seanad: Judicial Council Bill 2017: Committee Stage (2 Apr 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Minister for coming to the Seanad. I welcome the Bill back to the Seanad and express my strong support for the move to bring draft sentencing guidelines within the council's remit, and for the creation of a new sentencing guidelines and information committee.This has long been called for by organisations supporting people in the criminal justice system and I would like to pay...
- Seanad: Judicial Council Bill 2017: Committee Stage (2 Apr 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I wish to make a small correction to the statement that there is no more slopping out, though I may be corrected on this. I believe there is a tiny percentage of space in Mountjoy where prisoners have to go through the process.
- Seanad: Judicial Council Bill 2017: Committee Stage (2 Apr 2019)
Lynn Ruane: My sources are probably closer to the issue of slopping out than Senator Conway's.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: That is what kept us speaking English all these years - sending us home straightaway.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I second the request on the Order of Business made by Senator Alice-Mary Higgins. I raise the issue of non-disclosure agreements being used by employers and harassers in the workplace. I regard them mainly as an extension of the abuse of power in the first place. It was well over a year ago that I asked for a debate on the abuse of power within the workplace. Having come from the launch...
- Seanad: Period Poverty: Motion (27 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: Those four minutes do not count because Senator Dolan does not get any periods so we will go with eight minutes for me. I was delighted to let Senator Dolan go first. As we can see, there is a lack of men in the room today apart from Senator Warfield so it is important to have men who are willing to come in and have those conversations. Those euphemisms were created to avoid having to talk...

- Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (27 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: When discussing a particular topic is it usual for a number of people to be called in, in terms of stakeholders?
- Committee on Public Petitions: Business of Joint Committee (27 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I recently drafted a piece of legislation on the use of seclusion rooms and restraints on people with autism and it ties in with the training of teachers working with them. Perhaps one of the organisations would be able to contribute as to what that type of training should look like. Perhaps the petitioner could assist. Perhaps AsIAm could come in or one of the other organisations that are...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Traveller Education: Discussion (26 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. A few people have mentioned the reinstatement and resourcing of what was there before, as if that was adequate, which does not acknowledge the damage done to the Travelling community since the early 1960s. We also need to acknowledge that when austerity budgets destroyed aspects of the education system it was a disaster for the Travelling...
