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Fintan Warfield: From my understanding, the boundary in Cork is seen by many people as out of date.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...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Network of Regional and Local Museums: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: I welcome all of the witnesses. My first question is to Ms Scarff. My boyfriend passed on to me an article from last weekend's Financial Times. It states: "As collections cannot be dissociated from the historic crime of colonialism, whether actually looted or not, there is just one appropriate course of action, the authors insist: restitution, the return of works to their rightful owners."...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Network of Regional and Local Museums: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: I thank Ms Scarff. On storage, the 2040 plan has been mentioned a lot. Is there space within the plan for a national storage site or where are we at with Swords? That question is open to anyone. Is it fit for purpose and are any of our collections at permanent risk because of Swords?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Network of Regional and Local Museums: Discussion (12 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: On the matter of museum standards, Ms Kelly alluded to the lack of legislation in the area. It is notable that Mr. Bradley mentioned there is no legislation in terms of local museums.

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: I offer Sinn Féin's support to the proposal that we sit on Monday afternoon as it would allow Senators to travel from their respective areas. I welcome the passing of the legislation in the Dáil last night and I hope we can have a respectful debate. We should not forget that, since the decisive vote on 25 May, more than 1,600 people have travelled overseas for an abortion, and 550...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Commencement of Legislation (5 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House. I know this does not relate to his own brief. I do not intend to pre-empt his response, but far too often we are left a bit unsatisfied with the responses. We have just had a discussion on that issue. I suggest we really need to look at the slot for Commencement matters because many are not satisfied with the responses received. It...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Commencement of Legislation (5 Dec 2018)

Fintan Warfield: I have some concerns. There is also a Social Welfare, Pensions and Civil Registration Bill 2018, which I understand will appear on Committee Stage in the Seanad next week. There are significant problems with the 2017 Bill and it is unclear to us whether it can be enacted any time soon or whether there will be support in the Oireachtas to do so, but we will examine the 2018 Bill in the...
