I thank Mr. Tennant for his opening presentation. It is much appreciated.

In his conclusion, Mr. Tennant stated Scouting Ireland is different. He referred to issues raised in the RTÉ programme on historical child abuse matters in scouting. How is this the case when one of those accused who was referred to in the RTÉ programme was a volunteer in the organisation up until 2018? That is not historical. I would like to know Mr. Tennant's definition of “historical”.
