Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland
Mr. Jim Gibson:
One of the difficulties that Scouting Ireland had was, I assume, withholding of funding. I cannot speak for Scouting Ireland with regard to its communication and discussion with the Department on that basis but on the issues in the action plan that I mentioned, a contributory factor to it being on hold was funding issues. I am sure Scouting Ireland will elaborate on that.
