Seanad: Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (30 May 2023)

Fintan Warfield: The Bill requires survivors to waive the entitlement to initiate litigation in order to access the redress scheme. As Senator Black pointed out, and as Sinn Féin pointed out in previous amendments, the position that has been taken by Government here can be contrasted to the symphysiotomy payment scheme, which did not require or compel any woman to forgo her right to initiate legal...

Fintan Warfield: I appreciate the Minister's response. I understand this proposal has been with the Department since October 2021. There has been plenty of time to consider it and he has had plenty of time to bring forward his own amendment. We must move forward on this issue. The Minister has admitted we need to take action on it. I ask him to look favourably on my amendment. Dentists and patients...

Seanad: Capital Investment in the Health Service: Statements (1 Jun 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister to the House. It is clear that since the launch of Project Ireland 2040, the socioeconomic environment that underpinned that plan has changed drastically. I want to speak about multi-annual plans. The proposed level of capital expenditure is inadequate to deal with the challenges we face in healthcare. The HSE capital plan for 2023 is inadequate. It lacks the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local and Community Arts: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Fintan Warfield: I thank the witnesses for joining us. Céad mile fáilte. I welcome the committee's work on this matter. Arts is built on community activity. It starts in school and at home with friends and family. Consequently, cultural activity is built on community activity. As such, the committee's focus on local art is timely and welcome. I wish to address a couple of significant issues...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Development of Local and Community Arts: Discussion (Resumed) (31 May 2023)

Fintan Warfield: Mural painting is well established in cities throughout the world but you do not see much of it in Dublin or elsewhere in Ireland, with the exception of Waterford. There is little space for that genre of art, so I think we need to come together to look at the legislation and policy. Policy and legislation will never create art; only artists will do that. I hope this can be the start of a...
