Rónán Mullen: I am the rapporteur on palliative care for the Council of Europe, but the Senator has probably not done his research on that.

Rónán Mullen: I will send an Easter egg to the Leader.

Rónán Mullen: Three for a tenner.

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Mar 2018)

Rónán Mullen: I wish Senator Mulherin well in her quest to bring Pope Francis west of the Shannon. No doubt there would be people of all ages gathered around the gable wall, if that comes to pass. Last week, we had a debate about reducing the voting age to 16, and whatever one thinks of that proposal, there is no doubt that we need to engage the trust of young people in the political system, but for that...

Rónán Mullen: Is it Ceaucescu era consultation?

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: I regard this as a sad day. It is sad that the referendum Bill is being presented to the House. It proposes the holding of a referendum to deny the most basic human right of all, the right to life, to unborn boys and girls. It is sad to hear it being communicated in such a matter of fact way, as though we were just regulating health care to make matters somewhat better in normal...

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...

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 i dtosach báire fáilte mhór chroíúil a chur roimh Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. Gabhaim míle buíochas leis as a bheith linn. Cuirim fáilte roimh a mhuintir - an treabh mór atá tagtha ó Chiarraí agus, b'fhéidir, ó áiteanna eile le bheith inár measc inniu. Mar a dúirt mé,...

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...

Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Ceisteanna Óige: Díospóireacht (8 Mar 2018)

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: Ba bhreá liom tréaslú le mná na hÉireann, agus mná Gaelach na hÉireann ach go háirithe, ar an Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan seo. I, too, congratulate and thank the women of the world on International Women's Day. I thank, in particular, the women who, whether for specific periods or on a more indefinite, continuous basis, have brought joy...
