- 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)

- 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: 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...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Traveller Education: Discussion (26 Mar 2019)
Lynn Ruane: It does not take funding to create aspirations in children. We can talk about funding all we want. It does not take funding not to be racist. It does not take funding to be non-discriminatory. That stuff does not take funding and that stuff exists within the teaching profession. It just needs to be acknowledged. I am not saying it applies to every teacher.
