Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (21 Nov 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Minister for her presentation but I will focus on what she did not say in it, and on what she just said. She referred to information that came to her last night.

It is important to put on the record what was said. A gentleman who was one of the 108 called me. I was a bit taken aback. He proceeded to tell me about the trauma of his life for the last several years....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance Issues in Scouting Ireland: Discussion (21 Nov 2018)
