Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

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

Dr. John Lawlor:

Files that go to the DPP come from An Garda Síochána. Our responsibility is to report to An Garda Síochána and Tusla, which we have done. We have provided the committee with a detailed breakdown of all of the numbers that we have received and their categorisation. I thought that had fulfilled that action but I am happy to work with the Chair and secretariat if they need more information on that. We have provided that documentation to the committee before. There is far more detail in the breakdown than the committee requested. If that has not got to the committee, we are happy to fix that.
