Governance reforms in Scouting Ireland introduced on foot of a highly critical report have been “implemented satisfactorily”, according to a review commissioned by Minister for Children Katherine Zappone. Ms McManus found the recommendations had been “implemented satisfactorily” and Scouting Ireland had completed “significant work” in improving its governance. There were a number of outstanding issues to be resolved by the youth organisation, Ms McManus said. The report recommended Scouting Ireland provide the department with an update on the status of outstanding reforms in six months time. Anne Griffin, Scouting Ireland chief executive, said the youth organisation was “greatly encouraged” by the conclusions of the McManus report.
