Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I will ask Mr. Conboy or Ms Cappuccini what are their preferences for a legislative or regulatory solution? Has anything changed in the transition from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, BAI, to the media commission?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Fintan Warfield: Is Mr. Conboy worried about the simulcasting, if that is what it is called, of shows from Britain? There was a piece in The Irish Timesabout it on the back of the Ryan Tubridy issue. Is it called a simulcast?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I always enjoyed driving back late at night from a show at the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney or wherever and listening to all the radio stations on the way back. It is a different world.

Seanad: Recent Violence in Dublin City Centre: Motion (29 Nov 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I join others in extending my thoughts to those who were injured at Parnell Square and wish them a speedy recovery. We send every blessing to them. What happened in the aftermath of these horrific attacks was a disgrace. There were burnt-out cars, buses and a Luas tram, smashed-up shop fronts, workers hiding in the basements of shops and restaurant staff from beyond these shores who were...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Nov 2023)

Fintan Warfield: This week, the Government chose to reject the Sinn Féin motion on neutrality. Instead, the Government continues in its dying days to push through a fundamental shift in our foreign policy legislation, which will remove the triple lock and, in our view, will undermine our credibility on the world stage. It will push through legislation that is in very stark contrast to Fianna...

Seanad: Local Government Matters and City and County Councillors: Motion [Private Members] (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. We need genuine reform of local government and the power structure in Irish politics. Governance and decision-making should occur as close to the people as possible, and they should be carried out by people elected by the people. The current management structure was introduced in 1940. Consistently, for decade after decade following partition,...

Seanad: Sex Offenders (Amendment) (Coercive Control) Bill 2023: Second Stage (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: As ever, I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, to the House. On behalf of Sinn Féin I welcome today's Bill. I acknowledge the work of Jason and the Poole family, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that Jennifer's voice is heard in this Bill. As other speakers have referenced, the Bill is a reclaiming of Jennifer's legacy, one that will provide protection for all women in...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Deputy Leader here this morning. I want to discuss the issue of precarious employment in higher education and call for a debate on the recent report by the Irish Federation of University Teachers. I begin by thanking the federation for its work in highlighting the issue, in particular its recent report. We have known for a long time how precarious things are for workers in...

Seanad: Electoral (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: Gabhaim buíochas leis an Acting Chair. I will not use all of my time. I commend the work of the Electoral Commission. It is a matter of public record that Sinn Féin argued for six-seaters and to maintain county boundaries where possible but we think the Electoral Commission should be as independent as possible and I think it did a very good job. As this Bill comes before us, I...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I thank the Chair. The guests are all welcome here. Cuirim fáilte rompu. It is a pity Twitter did not bother to show up. I echo the sentiment expressed by my colleagues. I ask the witnesses to set out their organisations' respective plans for the European and local elections next year, focusing solely on paid advertising as opposed to organic political content. Obviously, the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: To go back to Google, am I correct in saying you only have to be in the EU to take out an ad in Ireland or do you have to be in Ireland?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I want to touch on what we are hearing about censorship and the disproportionate censorship of Palestinian voices. I have seen stories about hiding hashtags and content takedowns. We often see people using workarounds to try to trick the algorithm, such as by using an "@" sign in the word "Gaza". Does that work? Mr. Ó Broin said that complaints of this nature are coming from both...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I thank Dr. Pekkala for joining us. What he just said points to my first question. Often, when we hear about online safety, we hear it in the context of young people, but I am equally worried about my mum and dad, for example, at home and the type of media they might see on YouTube, where they get their political content. Am I right to be equally worried about older people even though, in...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety, Online Disinformation and Media Literacy: Discussion (6 Dec 2023)

Fintan Warfield: That is really helpful. Some of our public libraries are like Internet cafés. The computers are in more use than the books and it is probably a great environment for this. Dr. Pekkala made a good point about banking because, again I mention my mum and dad, the two-factor authentication is an awful difficulty for them. That is a practical example of educating people on those issues...
