- Seanad: Insurance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (15 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill on behalf of my colleague Senator Gavan. The problems in the insurance industry are well known to all of us. My party and others - I am thinking particularly of my party colleague Deputy Doherty - have worked hard over the years to highlight the exceptionally high premiums and the rip-off nature of insurance in this country. His Bill from...
- Seanad: Planning and Development (Built Heritage Protection) Bill 2022: Second Stage (16 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I commend Senator Norris and the Independent Group on bringing forward the Bill. I also welcome the Minister of State to the House. I will make a couple of points. I have been a member of the culture committee for years and heritage was taken away from us by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. I welcome the increases that have been given to the Heritage Council by...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister and her officials to the committee and I commend her on for the €25 million basic income pilot, which would be a game changer in the arts. There are concerns in the community about what some call a de facto exclusion of artists with disabilities insofar as the scheme may put someone at risk of having their other supports cut. Can the Minister make some...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: Would the Minister consider in her budget allocations a specific ring-fenced allocation to RTÉ for the development of the RTÉ Player?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I believe so. We have given RTÉ lump sums or allocations before. It is a shame to see money going into productions like "Normal People" or RTÉ productions and for them to be poorly delivered online.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Departmental Priorities and Legislation: Discussion (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: When Ms Dee Forbes and the chair of RTÉ appeared before the committee, they said it would take several million euro to get the RTÉ Player to where it needs to be. It is an access issue, as well. If you are watching Netflix on a poor broadband connection, the Netflix app will adapt to that. This is an access issue for people across the country, who do not have access to good...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I thank the Minister and her officials for staying with us to discuss this. I commend the Irish Theatre Institute, the Arts Council and the Department for helping to bring this report together and Jane Daly and Siobhán Burke, who worked on the report. When they were before the committee they said that just after this report was launched, another was launched by, I think, the Law...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I call on musicians and men in the arts and culture to come out and support these issues, support their female colleagues who have told their stories and to show solidarity there. One of the things in the report is that strong and committed leadership is needed. I call on men in the industry to come out and show their support.
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Jun 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Government's commitment to a HIV and AIDS national monument. The Department of the Taoiseach and the Office of Public Works have announced a competition for the monument. I commend the Government on backing the campaign that has been under way for almost a decade. Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, more than 70 million people around the world have acquired the...
