- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 Apr 2024)
Lynn Ruane: On behalf of the Civil Engagement Group, I send our solidarity and thanks to Academics for Palestine, who have been mobilising across several universities around the country today and on the island of Ireland, calling for universities to take a stand on the genocide in Gaza. 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...

- 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: Not necessarily for the employees, say. So in terms of the employees' right to protection.

- 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: A few things came up. They do not relate directly to the heads of the Bill, but to the principles that in some sense underline it. 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...
- 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: Yes, and it should just be released back to the authority.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion (16 Apr 2024)

- 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 think the reduction of time and the sharing of information were what I was most looking for from the Bar. I think they have covered those.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Feb 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I second the amendment to the Order of Business. Often when you travel as a politician internationally you can come back feeling a little bit dismayed at the response of some countries to talk of a ceasefire to halt the destruction of a people like we see in Gaza. Even though we can always do more - we need to do more - and that is what this legislation can do, Ireland has a real role in...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2024)
Lynn Ruane: I thank the witnesses for their participation this morning. It has been an interesting nine months. I do not think the next part of the process will be easy. I agree with Deputy Farrell's point about the Department that no one needs to be told about the importance of palliative care in Ireland. They are things we know. We have supported families through those services. I feel that...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2024)
Lynn Ruane: That is my question. It says in Dr. Ní Bhriain's opening statement that there is a belief that there is a potential impact of assisted dying, but that research is not out there. Obviously, other jurisdictions have had assisted dying for a long time, and you would imagine they would have potentially accumulated some sorts of insights and research on whether there is a correlation...
