With the height of respect to Mr. Tennant, I have just listened to his commentary and, to be honest, it seems to me that he has thrown every scouter throughout the country under the bus. When the Tusla representatives were here earlier they did not talk about events on the ground. They talked about governance and compliance. Mr. Brian Lee spoke about governance and compliance in respect of the safeguarding statement. The safeguarding statement, which is the mission statement for Scouting Ireland, comes from Scouting Ireland headquarters, which is delivered to every unit throughout the country. Is that correct or not?
