Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland

4:10 pm

Mr. Martin Burbridge:

Unless we succeed in convincing the Minister and her officials that we should have funding restored, we will have give protective notice to our staff in June. In the meantime we are husbanding our resources as best we can and are trying to make them last as long as we can. We are very conscious that we have responsibilities to our staff in the unfortunate event that we may have to put them on protective notice. As mentioned earlier, the CEO is keeping the staff briefed on a regular basis about the situation.
