Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jun 2017)

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Jun 2017)

Josepha Madigan: I echo Deputy MacSharry's views. I have found the current process and that relating to Project Eagle very frustrating. There is no joined-up thinking on this committee in my view. The work should be divided between members, with each member tasked with forensically examining a particular section and then putting questions that stem from that work to the witnesses. There is too much...

Order of Business (4 Jul 2017)

Josepha Madigan: I wish to ask about the building control Bill, the general scheme of which was recently published.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (6 Jul 2017)

Josepha Madigan: What do we do with unsolicited correspondence? It is almost like An Garda Síochána is trying to confuse us here. How do we deal with this when it comes to producing the report itself? Do we include it or do we not?

I am sorry to refer to my own book but mediation is a very important topic in the context of abuse. As a mediator over many years, I know that screening in mediation is very important, particularly when it comes to domestic abuse. As we all...

Mediation Bill 2017: Report Stage (11 Jul 2017)

Josepha Madigan: I appreciate Deputy O'Callaghan's point. One issue we have had as mediators is quality control. It is a self-regulating profession and as such it is important that all mediators would subscribe to a code of practice. The Mediators Institute of Ireland has a stringent code of practice which ensures that standards are maintained on training and everything else. Its code of ethics is...
