Mr. Jim Gibson:

We outlined at the start that Scouting Ireland, like many other voluntary agencies, does an immense amount of work with children on behalf of society. We need to outline again that Tusla's role, from a practice perspective, has been clearly about trying to ensure best standards are met across all organisations in terms of that difficult area which is ensuring all children are protected as best we can. The letter from Tusla was to Scouting Ireland. It was not a letter to the public.
