Would the Deputy find it helpful if I read a small section of the Minister's response on the very issue he has just raised which he might not have seen because it has just been put on the record? It states that it is not the Minister's intention that Scouting Ireland should become insolvent. It states that Ms Jillian van Turnhout's task is scheduled to be completed when the necessary report to the Minister is presented in the week commencing 10 June. Ms van Turnhout's work on this should be completed by 10 June. It states also that any decision regarding restoration of funding will depend on the necessary assurances being provided to the Minister. By that, I assume she means through Ms van Turnhout's report. That is for the Deputy's own information because I know he was not here when this was issued.
