- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Advanced Skills Teachers and Special Classes in Mainstream Schools: Discussion (26 Jun 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the delegates for their presentations. I have a few questions. I have a knot in my stomach when I talk about this subject because my daughter who has just turned 17 years has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in the past nine months. I admit that the diagnosis saved her life. I did not think I would get her out of secondary school alive because of the experiences she was...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Management and Operations of Caranua: Discussion (21 Jun 2018)
Lynn Ruane: We probably should have done this in private session but as there are only two speakers, is it possible to ask questions individually rather than in groups?

I am keen to get a bit more understanding of the witnesses' experience of being survivors on the Caranua board. It is first-hand experience and not just part of a process. Will they elaborate on what that experience...

Lynn Ruane: I asked the Department to explain the consultation process and officials stated that various survivors' groups had indicated they wanted to organise face-to-face consultation. They also indicated the Department fully supported that approach. The witnesses are the experts in this field but I know it is not their job to figure out how face-to-face consultation should take place. In light of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Management and Operations of Caranua: Discussion (21 Jun 2018)
Lynn Ruane: I apologise for exceeding my time but I have one more question. If survivors do not approach individual survivor groups because they are representatives of various cohorts around the country, how do we best contact all survivors to invite them to a consultation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Management and Operations of Caranua: Discussion (21 Jun 2018)
Lynn Ruane: When I drew up a plan on consultation talks - and I might have been told this already by some of the groups I was involved with - the numbers in Ireland are broken up as: Leinster, 5,132; Connacht more than 600; Munster just over 2,000; and Ulster, 131. There are no figures collated for survivors who are in the UK. I may have been informed of this already because the figures are in an...

Lynn Ruane: Dr. Lodato spoke about the indemnity clause and how people cannot tell their stories. What is in the indemnity clause that says people cannot share their experience or talk publicly about it? Or is it about taking a case based on their experience?
