Fintan Warfield: On the Committee Stage amendment, a Bill by Deputy Louise O'Reilly is being scrutinised by the Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. It received cross-party support there. Is a possible avenue that we would work with Deputy O'Reilly on that Bill?

- Seanad: Humanitarian Support for Ukrainian Refugees: Statements (23 Mar 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome all the Ukrainian people who have arrived on our island. I also commend the generosity of the Irish people to date. Where does one even begin? What we are watching is totally inhumane, grotesque and deeply unnecessary. It is difficult to watch and sometimes we switch off from the news. What a privileged position that is to be in to be able to do that. It is certainly not a...

- Seanad: International Women's Day 2022: Statements (9 Mar 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I express my solidarity with the women of Ukraine who have been forced to vacate their homes, communities and country. Ireland stands with them as a voice for peace, demilitarisation, freedom and democracy.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Mar 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I want to commend what two artists have done in recent weeks. Brian Teeling and Emma Roche have both instructed the National Gallery of Ireland to remove their works from the walls of the gallery. By doing so, they have put their practices at considerable risk to protest the fact that the National Gallery of Ireland has contracted the US company Aramark to take over the café on Merrion...
- Seanad: Housing Policy: Motion (2 Mar 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. The guests in the Public Gallery are also very welcome. I commend Senators Ruane, Flynn, Black and Higgins for bringing forward this motion, which is a welcome opportunity to discuss housing outside the confines of legislation, which many of us do often. I thank them for tabling this motion. I wish to address two items in the motion, that is,...

I commend Amnesty International on its work on this report. It very much interrogates the record of the Israeli state in its treatment of the Palestinian people. It is a stark document that records a litany of crimes against humanity and...
- Seanad: Mental Health and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services: Statements (24 Feb 2022)
Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, to the House. I get the impression every time she attends the House that she is very passionate about this topic, which is quite refreshing. I wish her well. People speak about mental health and it may well be too black and white to say it is a generational issue; it is certainly not but people are now so open about whether they go to...

As Senator Boylan stated, the Bill involves a basic amendment to the Coroners Act 1962 to deal with the...
