Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

It is a charity company called the Irish children's museum limited, ICML. Initially, there were approximately 13 people involved. It is now down to five or six. Of the key people involved, the chairman is Mr. Michael Collins SC, a barrister. Dr. Danny O'Hare, the former president of DCU, has recently stepped down but he was very involved. He was the previous chairman. Ms Ali Hewson is involved. They were the main parties involved in the arbitration proceedings. There are three or four other people whose names I can supply to the Deputy, but it is on the public record.
