Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland
Mr. Pat Smyth:
The responsibility with regard to Children First and with child protection rests with Tusla. As the funding body that funds many organisations, the Department has a role around the funding and this is the case with regard to Scouting Ireland. The divisions are clear and are relatively clear in my mind. Will the Deputy clarify?
