Cllr Mannix Flynn: Ghost People

Cllr Mannix Flynn, Independent

As an artist, Mannix Flynn is an advocate for transparency in public life. He brings this same value to his role as an independent city councillor, calling people, or more usually organisations, to account for decisions from housing allocations to cavalier spending of public money.

The apparatus of the State should serve its citizens, yet many of us struggle to negotiate complex public service systems. Mannis feels the role of a councillor is to help people access their entitlements, not just financial entitlements, but entitlements to information, education, training and culture.
