Mr. Ian Elliott:

Absolutely. I welcome the opportunity to be able to confirm that again to the Deputy. If I did not feel that this was in place, I probably would not be here. It has not always been present with regard to the experiences I have had in working with Scouting Ireland. I have had good experiences and experiences that were not very good. I made it clear to the board when I first met it that I needed to be convinced that it was going to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons. Although we have only known each other for a short time and I have only worked with it for a short time, I have been greatly impressed by its commitment, openness and willingness to accept criticism and what I am saying. These are not easy lessons to learn. These are all people who have very positive experiences of scouting so they think Scouting Ireland is a wonderful organisation, which it is, but they also think that this sort of experience does not happen to young people who come to scouting. I am saying that it does happen, has happened and to more than one person, and that Scouting Ireland should accept responsibility for that problem, own and deal with it and get it out there so we can move on from it. I have confidence that Scouting Ireland is doing that.
