Anne Rabbitte: What I mean is that we do not want to wait another three, four or five years to bring forward this legislative change. There might be a money message there.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland (9 May 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I would hope so. When Mr. Burbridge talks about having been slow to do this, the amalgamation took place in 2003 and now it is 2018. Some 15 years have passed.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance and Child Protection Policy: Scouting Ireland (9 May 2018)

How will Scouting Ireland assure her that the organisation is taking steps in the right direction? She will be looking for supporting evidence, as will the committee. Where are we in that context?
