Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the delegates to the meeting. I am a Sinn Féin Senator. I am not a member of this committee. I am here out of interest and to express support for the work of the organisations here today and also to express opposition to the baptism barrier provision. Are there data available on the number of people throughout the State affected by issues of access, including whether those issues are primarily urban or rural? I agree with Senator Ó Ríordáin that this Bill is merely tinkering with the issue.
