It goes without saying that all of us - the members of the committee, Tusla and Scouting Ireland - want children to be safe. It is important to bring into the debate the balance that needs to be struck. It goes without saying that in the vast majority of cases children have had very positive experiences on overnight trips. A knee-jerk reaction that involves stopping all such trips is probably a step too far. I would be very interested to hear how the interactions go and what is concluded in that regard.
