Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland
Mr. Pat Smyth:
On the letter being read in public, the issue from the Minister's perspective is that the concern was expressed directly to her by Scouting Ireland. The Minister who needed to answer a separate question believed she needed to bring the letter to the attention of the public. I did not speak directly to her, but we did speak to the Department.
