Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance and Child Safeguarding Issues in Scouting Ireland: Tusla and Scouting Ireland

Mr. Adrian Tennant:

I will ask Dr. Lawlor to address the detail of the 2012 review. It was for a very specific purpose. As Dr. Lawlor stated, it was noted that a person who had been removed from one of the legacy organisations had found his or her way back in. That was from a specific point of view. Not all of those 300 files related to child sex abuse. It is important to state that it was a much smaller number than that.
