replies: text: I agree that a close association with Opus Dei has not been established, and that there is no reason to include it in the article until independent sources verify it.   I've read the article at  the Irish Examiner, but the author doesn't seem to say that he is closely associated with Opus Dei- simply that he knows people who are members of the group.  That is hardly encyclopedic; are we summarizing the contents of all of his individual newspaper columns? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: I was simply trying to get the lead up to GA criteria. I believe References 10 to 21 deal with this part of the lead "and his parliamentary career to date has focused on issues such as bioethics and the right-to-life, human trafficking and immigration, hospice care, freedom of conscience, political reform, welfare support for vulnerable citizens and Overseas Development Aid."  Also I don't see any sentence like this on the subject’s website!
As for the role he played in Lisbon, it was significant as subject served on the Oireachtas committee for Lisbon II that was too look at "Ireland’s future in the European Union" and was the only Independent politician to do so.   --Patchthesock123 (talk) 15:23, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi.  I'm here because you requested a Third Opinion, but there doesn't appear to be any active dispute between you and another editor on this topic.  If you're concerned with the recent GA failure due to the assertion that the lead didn't meet WP:LEAD, you might want to seek direct input from the GA reviewer, or seek peer review to help with content improvement that doesn't center around a dispute with another editor.

thread_title: The Lead

message: I think it is fair to describe this as controversy, as it did lead to a few articles discussing it in newspapers and a flurry on Twitter. The Herald even described the discussion about the comments as "outrage."O lockers (talk) 08:14, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi O lockers, and thanks for your recent good work on this article. At the time I removed the label "controversy" the citation did not support it. There may be more of a basis now, but the word "outrage" seems to have lost all strength especially in publications such as the Evening Herald. Secondly, the MOS guides us away from such interpretation: readers are well placed to discern the level of disagreement for themselves. Do you know of any further sources? I did a quick search and didn't get much—though it's always nice to follow through with these affairs. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 15:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The :Category:Irish anti-abortion activists is "for activists who are primarily notable due to their pro-life activism. This category is not a list of anyone who is pro-life (such as actors, musicians, or politicians)."  While I agree the category shouldn't apply to every politician who happens to be anti-abortion (e.g., Lucinda Creighton), I believe it is very appropriate in the case of Mullen.  There are only 23 paragraphs in the article and the word abortion occurs 13 times. Anti-abortion lobbying is what he's primarily known for.  Even in the context of a debate on Sandy Hook, he managed to squeeze in references to abortion! BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:08, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anti-abortion category 

message: The article states that Ronan Mullen is quoted as saying that the Irish state should not get involved in the rehabilitation of William Richardson. It links to a paywalled Irish Times article. If you look at the actual debate on this matter in Seanad , it doesn't say this at all. Who ever wrote this was just putting words into Ronan's mouth to try to discredit it him.

replies: text: Again - and this is something I've had to remind you of multiple times in just one weekend - it's content sourced to a reliable source. If you can't access the source - well, that's on you. The sentence we include is accurate, per the source. And the debate, for that matter. You appear to be here to right great wrongs. This is not the place. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 13:52, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
