Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I will put on the record that this amendment only changes "shall" to "may". It makes a provision for a block order to be issued whenever the request is made rather than allowing the measure to me discretionary.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Lynn Ruane: The ethics that we naturally think are in opposition to each other are autonomy and the values of life.
