Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland

4:10 pm

Mr. Martin Burbridge:

We could not postpone that meeting as it was the AGM of Scouting Ireland and also the AGM of Scouting Ireland Services CLG. In order to comply with the Companies Act, we had to hold the AGM prior to the end of April in order that we could file our returns with the Companies Registration Office. That happens each year. It is now clear that people did not think matters were as urgent as they have turned out to be. I ask Mr. McCann, as a member of the board, if he has any further insight into why that meeting was not deferred.
