Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion

Mr. GearĂ³id Begley:

When we report the disclosure to the State agencies, they conduct the investigation. It is their determination as to whether they have closed their assessment or investigation. A file we have could be reopened, depending on the State agency's investigation assessment. It is difficult to say a case will be fully closed.
