Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Adrian Tennant:

Our opinion is that that would be a decision made by the Government rather than ourselves. Notwithstanding that, our files are fully open, by which I mean all our information systems, our membership management systems and so on. Not only are they all currently open to all State agencies but they have been, and continue to be, used in the pursuance of investigations, reviews and so on. That has happened, continues to happen and there is nothing to hide.
