Rónán Mullen: I would also like to welcome the family connection in the Gallery. I second and thank Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill for what he said this morning. I met the very fine people that are in a group, Unbroken, this morning. All of them have a personal story to tell that connects in with the horror of rape and the very difficult subject of abortion. To think that people who generously give of...

Rónán Mullen: I just want to recall what the Chairman said at the outset about seeking evidence and information without moving into the realm of opinion as much as possible. In that context, I cannot fault a word of what Dr. Kenny had to say. It was a very accurate survey of the issues. However, I would suggest that instead of talking about the "risk" of judicial intervention, one might talk about the...
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: On a point of order, I am sorry to interrupt the Leader but I want to make it clear that I have no opposition to the broadening of the franchise. I may have appeared to the Leader to have winced but that was something else entirely.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: It is important.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: Is the Leader promising a debate on that because I raised an important point about the inappropriateness of a member of the Executive having those views given that she is responsible for children? It is a simple point.
- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2017)

Rónán Mullen: We should all welcome the decision by Saudi Arabia to allow women to drive. We could see it as a small step for man, perhaps, but a giant leap for womenkind. We should not speak too soon, however. I recall the late Libyan dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, when he arrived in Italy some years ago, seeing himself as a self-styled emancipator of women, with an all-female bodyguard. He asked to meet...

- Seanad: Order of Business (27 Sep 2017)
Rónán Mullen: Dr. Zappone's views are much more serious and disturbing than anything said by George Hook in recent times, but got much less commentary. We should have a debate on it even while we are discussing this issue at the committee. Such a default by a member of the Executive in the area of authentic human rights and the protection of all people in our society should not go unremarked on in these...

Rónán Mullen: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe agus gabhaim buíochas leo. Tá cúpla ceist agam. Gabh mo leithscéal nár thuig mé sleamhnán 17 den chur i láthair. An bhféadfadh na finnéithe é sin a mhíniú dúinn beagáinín? Is é sin an sleamhnán dar teidil "Ag cur stad le síor-thitim agus fás...
