Mr. Noel O'Connor:

Scouting Ireland is committed to compliance and best practice in financial reporting, company law, safeguarding on Children's First legislation, the national quality standards framework, the governance code for community and voluntary organisations and charities legislation in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Our journey to compliance with the governance code has identified a need for a major national and local restructure. We want to be leaders in this area. In terms of compliance, we want to be seen as a transparent organisation with a reputation for accountability and probity. Our work in this area while heavy on our limited resources is a major priority and will safeguard Scouting Ireland for future generations so that they can benefit form the same opportunities that so many young people have had over the past 110 years.
