- Seanad: Higher Education Authority Bill 2022: Report Stage (Resumed) (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: Amendment No. 80 provides that in preparing a strategic development plan under section 61, designated higher education institutions must consult with trade union representatives of both academic and professional staff. It goes without saying that union representatives are important in the conversation on boards. As for the potential for them not to be represented on boards due to the way...

- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the Chairman. That is much appreciated. The lads who featured on the podcast that won the award would not be strangers to many of the issues we are discussing today. They are men who have engaged with the justice system and spent time in and out of prison but who have also experienced many of the things we are discussing today. This session sits somewhat uncomfortably with me...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I will get one more point in first. The other thing I wanted to ask about is the trauma-related piece. Sometimes the trauma is not obvious when kids go into foster care at six, seven or eight years of age. They reach the age of 12 or 13 and start to think and see the unfairness and injustice, and then the trauma emerges. There are foster parents with whom I have been working for years....
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: It is unfortunate the witnesses did not acknowledge any of the issues, even in the slightest way, with some foster placements and the overreach of some foster carers. Much of what they said is right but their response, in many ways, proves my point. All the blame was put on the parental aspect and the child's trauma, and not on the fact that many foster carers do not understand complex...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: There is also a lot of bias in the placements. With regard to the incident in Cherry Orchard yesterday, I watched three foster carers. The children involved in the incident, whom we may call hooligans or low-life, are the children who will probably encounter services like those in question. There is a huge amount of unconscious bias against working-class kids and others who end up in...
- Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Foster Care: Discussion (20 Sep 2022)
Lynn Ruane: All right. I thank Ms Bairéad for clarifying that. My stomach flipped when I heard it. The point made was that, in the context of returning to the parent, 12 months should be invested in the foster placement to ensure secure attachment. What I inferred from that was that making sure the birth parent who wants to be active can be active would not be prioritised.
- Seanad: Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (14 Jul 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I welcome the Minister. I welcome the legislation and the support and consistency it provides for children and families in regard to GALs. I want to put on the record my eagerness to see the results of the full review of the Child Care Act as a whole. There are some parts of it that I would be eager to see advanced in respect of independent advocacy, beyond what is accounted for within...
