- Seanad: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage (11 Jul 2022)
Lynn Ruane: I welcome these amendments, especially amendments Nos. 24, 25 and 26. We had a good discussion on Committee Stage about what exactly is meant by an educational institution or looking at it from too top-heavy a point of view. We need more grassroots, on-the-ground community involvement and consultation, recognising that co-operation is needed with community, local and sporting bodies as...

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

I know from my communication with the members of the Traveller community who contact me about people using their Facebook posts...
