My concern is that there were 23 calls to the Tusla helpline to date and the one before Christmas received 45 calls. It seems that the Scouting Ireland helpline received a large number of calls. This is where I am concerned. If the State agency only had 45 calls and Scouting Ireland was getting more than 100 calls, what was happening with that information? Was Scouting Ireland passing its calls on to Tusla?
