Mr. Gearóid Begley:

Each case is different. When an allegation or disclosure is made against somebody, we have to consider the circumstances of that particular case. A person may be suspended without prejudice if that is the appropriate reaction. That process would take place quickly because, if there is a risk to a child, it needs to be reacted to promptly. We have reviewed the process as to how this is done internally, but it still takes place. The important thing is that the safety of the children is always paramount. We all understand that an allegation can be made against an adult that may not be substantiated when the process is followed through. The volunteers have rights as well, and we must be conscious of that in the process.
