Question 340: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, in view of the fact that the Temple Bar Cultural Trust, TBCT, organisation has been found to have offset the cost of lunches in February 2009 and 2010 against the rent of a restaurant whose owners are tenants of the trust, if he will call for a full independent audit into the spending of the TBCT, which is a body whose sole shareholder is the Dublin City Council.

The Temple Bar Cultural Trust organisation is a private limited company with the Dublin City Manager as the sole shareholder. Therefore, in the first instance, governance arrangements and financial management of the Trust are a matter for Dublin City Council and its Audit Committee. I understand that an independent consultancy report into the operation of the Trust, commissioned by Dublin City Council, has been presented to the Council. The Report was discussed at a recent Council meeting and will be discussed again by the Council at its meeting in October.
