- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: No, only a few lines. It continues:In a recent report on homelessness, three families surveyed said that they are waking their children up at half past five in the morning just to ensure access to a communal bathroom and allow enough time to get to school. This means that children are being sleep deprived and are unable to concentrate at school. In total, 2,245 new social homes were built...
- Seanad: Order of Business (20 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business to the effect that No. 10 be taken before No. 1. I am introducing my second Private Member's Bill today, the Criminal Justice (Rehabilitative Periods) Bill 2018, which will provide for broader and fairer access to spent convictions and ensure that people with criminal convictions are given a fair chance to be rehabilitated and to move...

- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I will be brief in order that we can move on. I am not in any way ignoring how important and crucial this matter is in respect of the decriminalisation of the woman. However, I believe we have criminalisation in place outside of that with regard to doctors. There was equal concern about the criminalisation of doctors because of their ability to be able to provide care to the woman. We...
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)

- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I will speak to all the amendments together. They deal with decriminalisation, and the fact that the criminalisation of doctors and those who assist women has been retained in the Bill, and is straight out of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act. We cannot talk about protecting and supporting women in this regard. Do you want me to wait, a Chathaoirligh?
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I am speaking to the group of amendments concerning criminalisation. The amendments all deal with criminalisation given that the criminalisation of doctors and those who assist women has been retained in this Bill, and is straight out of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act. We cannot talk about protecting and supporting women without calling out the barriers that this legislation...

- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: To add to the other comments made, I think the Senator is being very aggressive.
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: It is gone. It is repealed. It does not exist.
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: "Do not get so emotional". How dare the Senator? He is not speaking to the amendment and he is talking about a law that does not exist any more. He should sit down.
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
Lynn Ruane: He is a complete misogynist. He said that women who speak in this House should not get emotional. I will not take that. He has not read the Bill. He has no idea what he is talking about. He should go out and actually read the Bill and come back and say something with substance.
- Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)
