My final question goes back to the Lynch report. Ms Lorna Lynch produced a body of work on behalf of Scouting Ireland as an independent barrister. We have spoken about this with the delegates directly in the past. It has been referred to on many occasions and it is important in terms of the credibility of the hierarchy of the organisation. It is a matter of concern among the membership. The delegates speak with them; I do not but I have been contacted by enough of them to know it is a matter of concern for them. Notwithstanding what Mr. Tennant has said, I would like him to make a comment on that and on what his membership can expect.
