Mr. Jim Gibson:

It is relevant to state Scouting Ireland has demonstrated a willingness to make significant changes. It has brought in an independent child protection consultant who is guiding it through what is a very complex subject matter. It has engaged with Tusla and demonstrated a willingness to put in place those policies, procedures and practices. My first engagement with it last week, at which difficult issues had to be discussed, was completed in a professional and collaborative way and came to the end game. We now have an action plan that will help it and assure the Child and Family Agency, Tusla, that things have moved on significantly and that there are good processes in place. We have engagement at different levels, which is vitally important. The scrutiny of Scouting Ireland is unique. It is proactively dealing with the historical abuse that occurred in scouting in Ireland. Credit should be given to it for doing so. It is a difficult place to be.
