Tusla records show reports made about alleged abuse by two further perpetrators in first aid organisation
In an April 25th briefing prepared ahead of an Oireachtas committee hearing, Tusla outlined 11 cases of alleged abuse in St John Ambulance had been reported to the State agency to date.
The document suggests for the first time that the former senior figure was not the only individual allegedly involved in abusing children in the first aid organisation in the past. It also criticised current standards in the voluntary organisation, such as failures in its Garda vetting system and the handling of several contemporary child protection cases.
Following the report’s publication last March, the Department of Children raised concerns with St John Ambulance over current failings it identified.
