Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Aisling Kelly:

There are two prongs to that question, one of which is whether the board has looked at the reserves of the company and the contingent liabilities that are on the books in respect of existing litigation. We have had a full briefing from Dr. Lawlor, the financial officer, in on that. The second part of the question is whether we have considered ring-fencing a reserve for a general compensation fund without the need for a victim to go through a litigation process. That is something that we will have to explore - I do not want sound like a broken record - but finances are an issue for us.
