- Seanad: Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (24 Oct 2023)
Rónán Mullen: I wish to speak to amendment No. 27. I understood the Minister to say that if this amendment were to be accepted, the situation, scheme, as it were, or system would be unworkable. I do not quite understand the Minister’s logic on that. Essentially, this amendment would require that any tracking would be required to be approved by a District Court judge instead of just a Garda...

I will withdraw this amendment so that Senator Keogan or others may table an amendment on Report Stage if they wish.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Rónán Mullen: I welcome Mr. Copson, Mr. Riley and Professor Binchy. Speaking as a supporter of the Pro Life Campaign’s good work over many years, I do not think Professor Binchy or anyone else has to meet Senator Ruane’s test of who is a good person, a caring person or who is not.

Rónán Mullen: We all have different causes we support under different flags and headings and I just felt that was an unnecessarily ad hominem contribution.

Rónán Mullen: No, I did. I meant it word for word. If I may proceed with my question-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Rónán Mullen: We all support different causes under different headings. That is my point. We should not have to answer other people's personal tests on these issues. I listened to Mr. Copson. He spoke of the right to follow one's own conscience as long as it does not harm others. When he says the case is inarguable for legal change, I wonder are there any humanists who would oppose euthanasia or...

Rónán Mullen: By whom?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Rónán Mullen: To be clear, it is not that the person who is ending his or her life reports feeling a burden as a reason but rather that the doctor reports it as an issue in his or her life. Is that correct?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)
Rónán Mullen: First of all, I have no difficulty accepting what I think was the clarification. I do not think anybody intended to suggest otherwise. Nobody is saying that advocates of euthanasia or assisted dying are saying that other people are better off dead than alive. I think what they are saying is that if those people think they are better off dead than alive, then that is okay. However, I think...
