Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion

May I ask a brief follow-up question? If a parent contacts Scouting Ireland and says that he or she is concerned about a given volunteer, will that volunteer be suspended from that role pending an investigation? As Mr. Tennant will know from a previous life, that happens all the time. It is not necessarily a matter of saying that someone is guilty. He or she is just suspended without prejudice until an investigation is carried out. Does that happen? If so, how quickly does it happen? Is that one of the things that have been changed?
