6.	Motion submitted by Cllr Mannix Flynn “That this SPC call on the City Manager to immediately initiate the process to appoint a number of Dublin City Councillors to the board of the Parnell Square Foundation. This company was set up by DCC with the primary purpose of assisting in the creation of the new library at Parnell Square. This company has been in existence for over a year without the knowledge of Dublin City Councillors who are entitled to be appointed to its board. It is unacceptable that this company and other registered companies associated with the Parnell Square initiative were not brought before the City council or this committee (Arts SPC) or any sub-committee, given that public lands and public monies are involved and at stake here. It is imperative that good governance and accountability prevail here. I attach the two companies that were set up with regards the Parnell Square Project”.
