- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Policing Matters: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Nov 2023)

Lynn Ruane: I was not going to speak today but I want to preface the discussions that will take place tomorrow by saying that we need to be very careful and nuanced in how we engage in this conversation because in terms of what happened last week, it is not one holistic group that shows up in any arena.
