Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland

4:10 pm

Mr. Martin Burbridge:

I can set the situation for Mr. Ian Elliot to come in. I agree with the Deputy that we should have done this sooner. We have now instructed, and agreed with Mr. Elliot, that as soon as he comes back from planned leave in the coming weeks, he will commence the work to rigorously go through all of those files. Anything that he finds will be brought forward to the appropriate authorities, whether the Scouting Ireland board, Tusla, An Garda Síochána or whoever. That is what he will do and, depending on what he finds or how long he takes, we hope that will be completed before the autumn.
