Seanad: Order of Business (24 Nov 2016)

Rónán Mullen: These people used to defend freedom of conscience and now they want to destroy innocent, unborn lives. Consider the Abortion Rights Campaign Ireland or the likes of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties - supposedly a charity - which is getting money to change the law and-----

Seanad: Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (13 Dec 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jul 2021)

Rónán Mullen: ...has the expertise on site to know if the drug that has been seized by customs could be used in horse doping and, second, where that happens he does not warn off the consignee and seek permission to destroy the drug but that a controlled delivery is done in all of those situations in order to find the wrongdoers? Could he guarantee that he does that in those situations?

Seanad: Order of Business (20 Oct 2015)

Rónán Mullen: ...abortion. It is disturbing to see promoters of legalised abortion using the tragic cases of those whose child has been diagnosed with a severe foetal abnormality as the wedge issue on which to destroy the eight amendment in this country when the reality is that those campaigners want to see abortion legalised in far wider circumstances, starting with but not confined to people with...

Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Jul 2013)

Rónán Mullen: ...the fact that in one part of a hospital they may be trying to save a pre-term child who is at the cusp of viability while in another part of the hospital a similar child might have his or her life destroyed because that child is not wanted. These are the serious realities that are confronted-----

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Motor Fuels (3 May 2023)

Rónán Mullen: ...vehicles would not be affected. Is there an element of spin in saying it is safe to use E10? Nobody is saying the cars that do not take E10 are going to blow up but the additional ethanol would destroy aluminium and rubber fuel lines. To say it is simply a matter more frequent maintenance is erroneous. In other countries, provision was made for the limited availability of the E5 blend...

Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Jul 2013)

Rónán Mullen: ...be disputed but there can be no disagreement about the fact that something completely new is going to happen here, namely, that doctors are expected to intervene in healthy pregnancies and in some cases destroy the lives of unborn children, and in other cases expose them to the risk of severe injury or disability.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (20 Jul 2021)

Rónán Mullen: ...from within the Civil Service. He pointed out to me that often when customs seize imported products they write to the consignee giving him or her a warning and sometimes asking for permission to destroy the product seized. Given that it is unlikely generally that customs will seize a consignment, when that happens it is a rare opportunity to find out who is using drugs, but very often...

Seanad: Order of Business (20 May 2008)

Rónán Mullen: ...and Israel will awaken to their responsibilities, not just to their own people but to the international community, and that we will see an end to these horrible weapons of war which do no more than destroy innocent lives, sometimes many years after they have been dropped. I also mention in passing another sad story, which is that of children going missing in this country. It seems we are...

Seanad: Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2013)

Rónán Mullen: ...to the view it is simply not necessary. Senator Bradford said much of what I was going to say. In light of the offence as identified in section 22, namely, that “it is an offence to intentionally destroy unborn human life”, it simply does not make logical sense to reject Senator Walsh’s amendment. There are very clear issues at stake. For example, across the water...

Seanad: Stem-Cell Research (Protection of Human Embryos) Bill 2008: Second Stage (26 Nov 2008)

Rónán Mullen: ...be nice to have time to address issues and clarifications and give reassurances to Senators Fitzgerald, Norris and Bacik. This issue is moving very fast. It was once thought that only embryonic destroyed cells could be used to treat Parkinson's disease. There seem to be developments that offer hope and promise in the area of age-related macular degeneration, which may be possible using...

Seanad: Order of Business. (19 Oct 2011)

Rónán Mullen: ...sought to criticise the decision of the European Court of Justice, which has restricted the patenting of a stem cell research technique, which involves taking stem cells from a human embryo and destroying human embryos in the process. This decision by the European Court of Justice is very much to be welcomed. It is clear from the wording and language that the decision was taken with...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Mar 2023)

Rónán Mullen: ...to the engines of older vehicles, specifically those. According to my correspondent, this issue would affect tens of thousands of cars whose owners are likely unaware that the extra ethanol would destroy aluminium and rubber fuel lines in cars such as his. That would certainly seem to be unreasonable. When I looked up what the Government had to say on it, it was not at all clear because...

Seanad: Order of Business. (7 Feb 2012)

Rónán Mullen: ...a Chathaoirligh, because I wanted to draw attention to what this gentleman said about the Internet. He said that as well as being a tool of freedom and democracy, the Internet has the capacity to destroy civil society and cause unimaginable suffering. In that context, I support and draw the Leader's attention to the excellent intervention from Senator van Turnhout today on the issue of...

Seanad: Health (Termination of Pregnancy Services) (Safe Access Zones) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (1 May 2024)

Rónán Mullen: ...there was some kind of a dark irony because some people who were against freedoms were now seeking to protect freedoms. The only freedom the Minister is talking about here is the freedom to destroy innocent life. Those who oppose that particular freedom see themselves as defending a much more fundamental freedom, which is the freedom to have the same opportunity the Minister himself had...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 Dec 2015)

Rónán Mullen: ...on flooding and on the measures to compensate those affected by the winter storms. We have all seen the footage of the floods, ruined homes and businesses and the Christmas plans that have been destroyed. There have been four Atlantic storms this year. However, there are two things that are predictable, severe weather and the pathetic response from Government. Each time it happens, we...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Oct 2015)

Rónán Mullen: ...out of the fair deal scheme and try to meet the very onerous costs of nursing home care for a parent because they do not know for how long care will be required and they do not want to, in effect, destroy their ability to farm in the future. It seems that something must be done about this. We need a similar cap on the non-residential farming asset, namely, the farm. It should not be...

Seanad: Special Measures in the Public Interest (Derrybrien Wind Farm) Bill 2023: Second Stage (20 Feb 2024)

Rónán Mullen: ...have thought in an election year its members would want to convince the thousands of people in Ireland who think Green Party members may have some good ideas but are utterly unrealistic people who would destroy life as we know it if they got half a chance-----
