Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: Ní theastaíonn uaim dul thar fóir leis na ceisteanna. Tá ceist agam ar Fhionnuala Mac Aodha agus ar an Athair Frainc Mac Brádaigh. Maidir le foilsiú ábhar spioradálta, is sciar an-mhór an mhargaidh Ghaeilge é na hirisí. Glacaim leis nach bhfuil sé amhlaidh i gcás leabhair i nGaeilge. Tuigim go maith, mar scríobhaim...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: Tá ceist agam dála an scéil ar Comhar. Tá brón orm má tá sé ráite cheana féin nó mura bhfuil sé léite agam. I gcás dáileachán na n-irisí, cé mhéad a dhíoltar nó a chuirtear ar fáil go míosúil?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: An bhfuil irisí Gaeilge eile ann nach bhfuil anseo inniu atá ar an méid sin freisin?

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: B’fhearr liom samhail air do na finnéithe mar cheannródaithe le fís, ach is Oisín i ndiaidh na Féinne atá i gceist, fiú agus muid ag caint faoi chúrsaí léitheoireachta agus na dúshláin atá ann i gcoitinne. Bhí mé ar saoire le mo nia le déanaí. Bhí deis agam breathnú ar an slí a...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: Is í seo mo cheist dheireanach agus gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach as cead a thabhairt dom na ceisteanna uilig a chur. Maidir lenár gceannródaithe sna hollscoileanna, agus fair play do na finnéithe agus gach rud atá ar siúl acu, a bhfuil aon nasc acu le lucht Gaeilge agus mic léinn nó iníonacha léinn i gcoláistí eile?...

Joint Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Irish Speaking Community: Foilsitheoireacht agus Léitheoireacht na Gaeilge: Plé (Atógáil) (13 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: Déanaim comhghairdeas le Breacas a bheith chun tosaigh ar na hollscoileanna eile. Poblacht Corcaigh abú arís.

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: With the horrors in Ukraine continuing to unfold, it seems almost indecent to talk about the kind of normal business that occupies us. We must of course acknowledge the terrible things that have been happening in Syria, Yemen, China and many other places in recent years. Rightly or wrongly, it is much more shocking for us that our continental home, Europe, is again the scene of the kinds of...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: I want to start with an apology, which is due to all of those who campaigned to save the Seanad. When we had that campaign and when the Seanad was threatened, much was made of the fact that the Seanad was an important tool of our democracy and a necessary protection against the excessively hegemonic approach to power that a government might take through its majority in the Dáil. Much...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: My point is that this Bill shows a terrible disrespect for the law and for procedure. Its provisions are so wide-ranging and radical that we have only begun to try to address them in amendments which seek to limit the harm they would cause to civil liberty and respect for differences of opinion in our society. My point is that proceeding with such a Bill in the way we have so far and the...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: Let us take Senator Keogan's amendment, which provides that: The indoor area of a building within the safe access zone, other than a building described in subsection (1)#(a) or (b), is not considered to be part of the safe access zone for the purposes of this Act. I want to make it clear that in seconding this amendment I am not in any way saying that were it to be accepted, everything...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: -----in a way that no legislation that has ever come before these House has attempted to do to my knowledge. We are not talking about somebody who would shout: "Fire" in a theatre. There are situations where we have to curtail free speech where somebody is immediately put in danger but the idea that two people cannot have a conversation about abortion within 100 m of where an abortion is...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: To be clear, if the amendment were to be accepted, it would just be the beginning of an attempt to address the radical intolerance that is at the heart of this Bill and which features in several places in the wording of it. This radical intolerance should shock any true democrat.

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: A brief reference was made to filibustering earlier. I want to make sure everybody knows that from my own point of view and, I suspect, from Senator Keogan's point of view, there is no desire or any point in trying to filibuster this Bill. This Bill will pass today because people do not really care about the content. They just want to make the point.I am only interested in addressing...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: The idea such a prohibition on free concerned exchange between good people shows, as I have said, the recklessness and intolerance underlying this legislation. I am not sure it was deliberately intended but there is such a broad sweep underlying this legislation that there is not any interest in considering whether there could be unforeseen or unintended consequences, such is the visceral...

Seanad: Safe Access to Termination of Pregnancy Services Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (7 Apr 2022)

Rónán Mullen: We have all received it. We have all been at the receiving end of the nastiness and Sinn Féin especially has lessons to learn about how social media should be used in ways that are respectful of others. I say that on the floor of the House and put it on record without fear of contradiction by the majority in this House. It is easy to take the worst-----
