Anne Rabbitte: Are there any people involved in the broader review team that have been in positions where they were the recipients of allegations of abuse? It is a "Yes" or a "No". I do not wish to delve or stray or to put people in awkward positions.

Anne Rabbitte: Earlier on, Deputy Sherlock asked a question, and it is the same question that has gone around for the last number of months and years.

Anne Rabbitte: Before I ask Mr. Begley to expand on that answer, I would like him to tease out something else first. We know the legacy figure since 2012 from the two other organisations. Of the 660 files received from 2012 to 2019, how many are still open? Our guests clearly stated in their opening statement what is reportable. How many of the files were reportable and not reportable?

Anne Rabbitte: That is the crux of the conversation with Scouting Ireland. What defines "historical" and "current"? Two different conversations are taking place.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)
Anne Rabbitte: Why did Scouting Ireland never discuss the figure when it appeared before the committee previously? I have always discussed historical cases.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)
Anne Rabbitte: Of the 995 files, how many are still open cases, pending investigation? I refer to cases with Scouting Ireland, Tusla or An Garda Síochána.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)

Anne Rabbitte: Perhaps Mr. Tennant can give me the figure.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)
Anne Rabbitte: Of course, it is because behind every file is a child.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (4 Dec 2019)
Anne Rabbitte: However, behind every child is also a parent who wants to know if the matter has been dealt with by the right authority. I asked the question to allow Mr. Tennant to give me comfort and confidence that he knows how many files have gone where, but he clearly cannot give me those figures.
