Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Yes. The other question I have relates to the part on returns and not authorising entry. I am sorry but I do not want to misquote the section. There is a reference to misleading authorities, and that can act as a stand-alone reason for not authorising entry. In my view, that is extremely harsh. We have a lot of people coming from very distressed situations and being asked for information...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: EU Regulations and Directive on International Protection, Asylum and Migration: Discussion (23 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: Currently, in Ireland we put people in prison for not having passports.

Universities in Ireland, bar one, have been completely silent on the issue of the killing of thousands and thousands...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I thank the Chair. I hope we get a second round because the Department also submitted items on the community safety innovation fund, which I will address separately if we come back around, in terms of its criteria, the intention and budget and so on. For this round, however, I might stick specifically to the heads of Bill. I am obviously trying to understand receiverships and liquidation...

I am thinking of the case where a house may be taken and a lot of investment went into bringing it up to scratch. However, we see a lot of houses in housing estates where a monetary value is put on it, but there is a cost to the State because it is stripping...
