- Topical Issue Debate: Building Regulations (8 Feb 2017)
Josepha Madigan: The Beacon South Quarter development was built between 2005 and 2014 and comprises approximately 600 apartments and several commercial buildings. Built by Paddy Shovlin and Landmark Enterprises, it was a celebrated development during the Celtic tiger years. Unfortunately, we are now seeing the legacy of Fianna Fáil in government in the discovery by residents that their homes contain...
- Topical Issue Debate: Building Regulations (8 Feb 2017)
Josepha Madigan: I thank the Minister of State for his response and his undertaking to discuss the possibility of a tax rebate with the Minister for Finance and to communicate with the local authority on the matter. However, I do not accept the Government cannot intervene on the basis that it is a matter only for the contracting parties. Government involvement would greatly facilitate productive...

- Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Feb 2017)
Josepha Madigan: When will the family court Bill go to pre-legislative scrutiny? As we know, this will help to streamline family law court processes and will provide a dedicated family court to help all those people going through cases involving separation, divorce, access, custody, maintenance and relocation issues in a very adversarial way. I would like to see this expedited.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (2 Feb 2017)
Josepha Madigan: I echo what has been said on staffing. We were not on notice and should have been on notice. This is the only constitutional committee. It does extremely serious work. We know all that. It is outrageous to suggest that the Taoiseach or Government might have anything to do with staffing.

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Josepha Madigan: I thank Mr. Donnellan, Mr. Waters and their team for coming before the committee. Picking up from what Deputy Cullinane was saying, I was struck by what Mr. Donnellan said about prisons being the new lunatic asylums. It is difficult to hear that in terms of the morale of the prison staff. No more than a parent looking after a child - he or she must be in a good place in order to rear the...

Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service (2 Feb 2017) Josepha Madigan: That is very positive to hear. I think Mr. Donnellan or Mr. Waters mentioned recidivism - I can never pronounce that word - and the fact that it has seen a reduction to 45% and that the norm in the Nordic countries is 35%. These matters are all interlinked. If we are to go in the right direction, that is the way to do it. I am talking about the rehabilitation not just of prisoners, but...
