I do not know if this question is for Dr. Lawlor or another witness.
Mr. Tennant referred to the 50 million fellow scouts around the world. Did any scouting organisation in any other country experience child abuse issues? If so, how did it handle it? Will Scouting Ireland be a beacon now of how to handle and safeguard children for the rest of the community around the world, or how will it work out?
