Seanad: An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2018: An Dara Céim - Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018: Second Stage (27 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: Why do I say that?I heard the Minister say he recognises the deeply held views on all sides of this debate and respects them, but he told us, with passion, later that he was tired of being an ostrich. I do not believe it is being an ostrich to look out from Ireland and take account of our situation, imperfect as it is. Ireland is, nonetheless, a country where many women, who in abortion...

Seanad: An Bille um an Séú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht 2018: An Dara Céim - Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2018: Second Stage (27 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: Doctors have been able to do what they do. That is why it has been so wrong to reach for the Savita Halappanavar case when that tragedy showed in the various reports that there was a failure to manage sepsis properly just as can and does happen on occasion in abortion jurisdictions. There has been a real lack of respect shown to the truths of our history around how the eighth amendment has...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: As it is the spring equinox, I would like to wish everybody a happy lengthening of the days. It is also international Down's syndrome day. It is a day to reflect on the joy that those good people bring into so many people's lives, the inspiration they are for so many. It is also a day to reflect on our need to include them and people with disabilities generally more and more in our...

Seanad: Order of Business (21 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: The Cambridge Analytica business is, quite frankly, beyond me in its technical complexity. It seems to concern bots which seems to be where robots imitate human beings. Perhaps when it comes to social media we need to avoid the phenomenon of human beings acting like robots, in other words robotically getting into a language, and I am not just talking about the particular incident I have...

Rónán Mullen: Ba bhreá liom a chur in iúl an ríméad atá orm, dáiríre, a bheith ag éisteacht leis na bhfinnéithe agus an méid atá ráite acu inniu. Go pointe áirithe, beidh mé ag rá roinnt rudaí a dúirt an Teachta Tóibín. Bhí mé an-tógtha agus guím Lá Idirnaisiúnta na mBan sona air...

Rónán Mullen: Táimid uilig ar thuras. Thug sé dha bhliain orm, bíodh go raibh mé an-páirteach sa chumann díospóireacht i nGaillimh, sa lit and deb go háirithe. De réir a chéile, toisc go raibh mé páirteach sna díospóireachtaí, chuir mé suim san iriseoireacht agus is iriseoireacht a rinne mé i ndiaidh an choláiste....

Rónán Mullen: Would Senator Higgins mind giving way to me briefly?

Seanad: Foreign Affairs: Statements (Resumed) (7 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: I am very conscious of the Minister's background. He cares very much about the developing world and has visited many of the places in receipt of overseas development aid from Ireland. Given his background expertise as a former Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, he will know that Gorta-Self Help Africa has called for a new initiative, namely, the creation of an African...
