Next month will mark 30 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Ireland.
The government has committed to overturning the convictions of the almost one thousand men affected - but has yet to do so.
Sinn Féin senator Fintan Warfield says time is of essence, to try to reverse the harm that was done.
'This is a commitment that the government have made and that they should honour and so on the 30th anniversary of homosexuality being decriminalised and there is a call for the disregard of these criminal records.'
