- Seanad: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: Sinn Féin also has raised some concerns around the public services card. We had called for the roll-out of the card to be suspended, in the main on foot of the grave concerns raised by the Data Protection Commissioner and we believe those concerns need to be dealt with. We are concerned, as others are, that it could be a move towards a national ID scheme. As others, albeit not in this...

Fintan Warfield: Does the Leas-Chathaoirleach not trust me anymore?
- Seanad: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: The Leas-Chathaoirleach will be glad to hear I will be brief. I support the amendment. There is a need for specific measures to assist those in receipt of jobseeker's transitional payment when they are taken off the one-parent family payment when that is their wish. I do not need to tell the Minister we must consider the fact that lone parents raise their children without the support of a...
- Seanad: Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: I had initially proposed amendments on this Stage and the previous Stage that attempted to clear up some typographical errors in the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015. The errors were identified by the Minister and added to the long list of delays. Sinn Féin recently called for these errors to be dealt with in stand-alone legislation that would remove any chance of those...
- Seanad: Irish Film Board (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: Sinn Féin will also support this Bill. It is a short, technical Bill that allows for the maximum amount of any investments, loans, grants, moneys and guarantees, less recoveries, provided by Screen Ireland to fund Irish film making to be raised from €300 million to €500 million.There have been five predecessors to this Bill with similar effect in terms of raising the...
- Seanad: Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: At the outset I have to question why more time was not given to this debate. We are to take Second Stage now and Committee and Remaining Stages tomorrow. We were asked to submit amendments by 11 a.m. Monday. I believe it is understood that amendments should not be asked for prior to a Second Stage debate.

- Seanad: Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: Surely Second Stage should form the basis of amendments proposed for later Stages. I suspect that expediency in enacting this Bill and in ensuring fictional achievements were part of the reason. I welcome aspects of this Bill, particularly plebiscites for directly-elected mayors in Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. I am glad to see progress being made on these issues. It would have...
- Seanad: Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: I have spoken to our Sinn Féin team in Cork. I also spent the last two weeks listening to John Spillane.
- Seanad: Local Government Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Dec 2018)
Fintan Warfield: From my understanding, the boundary in Cork is seen by many people as out of date. The last boundary revision, which extended to the east to the west, was in the 1960s. The northern and southern extent of the city dates from the 1940s, a time when Rochestown was a quiet village on the way to Passage West and when Grange and many other places were farmland. Sinn Féin is the only party...
