Welcome to my website.
I'm currently serving my second term as Senator.

Fáilte, welcome.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped secure my re-election to the Seanad. I’m really appreciative of the kind messages of support that people have sent me. It is an honour to be re-elected and I will use the next term to continue the fight for Seanad reform; to stand up for the arts, culture and heritage; to demand better sexual health services across Ireland and to protect our precious environment. You can read more about me here.

Converted (RTÉ)

"Converted explores the stories of four men who have had first hand experience with conversion therapy practices in Ireland, including counselling... and exorcism. With Senator Fintan Warfield proposing a ban on these practices in the Seanad last year, will 2019 see the prohibition of the conversion therapy bill passed in the Republic?"
