Scouting Ireland says these concerns were never raised with the organisation

The letter also called for Scouting Ireland to “consider the viability” of continuing with overnight trips. During that engagement, Scouting Ireland says that the question of overnight trips has never been raised. Overnight trips and the experience of camping outside at night is an experience every scout should have the opportunity to enjoy and we have a strong policy framework in place to support this activity in Scouting Ireland. Again this matter was never raised by Tusla in any meetings with our organisation. Scouting Ireland has also questioned several other statements made by Tusla in its letter.
