Fintan Warfield: I move amendment No. 9: In page 5, line 28, to delete "1 January 2024" and substitute "1 January 2022".

There is no justification for allowing multiple extensions out to 1 January 2024. Such extensions will operate not only to...

Seanad: Criminal Justice (Rehabilitative Periods) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (28 Jun 2021)

Fintan Warfield: On behalf of Sinn Féin, I commend Senator Lynn Ruane. I spoke on Second Stage of her Bill in the last term. By complete fluke, I am covering for her as spokesperson tonight. She is a legend.

Fintan Warfield: I too commend the Green Party Senators on bringing this Bill forward. It is a welcome Bill and Sinn Féin will support it. I have a word of caution to offer in terms of how, at the moment, it does not join up with the proposed microgeneration support scheme. I will reflect primarily on this in my contribution, but I commend the Green Party Senators and I support the Bill. Removing the...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Future of Media in Ireland: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Fintan Warfield: I will pick up on Deputy Munster's line of questioning around the licence fee and the different models that were explored. It has been said that the witnesses cannot go into it but inasmuch as they can, will they speak about the different models they looked at? Education resources on disinformation have been mentioned. Has the commission explored the need for educational initiatives...

Fintan Warfield: I understand that radio broadcasters are competing against Spotify and everything else and that they should have some flexibility. I would be a little cautious on this issue. It is a very American approach to drive down the size of the television hour and the amount of advertising allowed within that hour. A quick look at the commissioning site of TG4 informed me that it commissions for...
