There are two remaining speakers, myself and Senator Warfield. From my perspective, the clarifications and commentary provided by the witnesses today have been very helpful in terms of enabling us to tease out what both organisations need to be doing. Obviously, the emphasis is on Scouting Ireland but I have a few queries relating to the points raised in the letter from Tusla to Scouting Ireland in February. We have established the where and the why of its publication but in terms of the recommendation on the phone line, it is not clear what was the catalyst for Tusla's concern. I ask the witnesses to put that in the public domain.
