Mr. Ryan
It is the statutory duty of the Dublin City Manager and Town Clerk to advise and assist the Dublin City Council generally in regard to the exercise of its functions. I understand that the general secretarial duties in relation to the City Council are performed by the staff of the Finance Department of the Corporation under the general direction and control of the City Manager and Town Clerk. I have received no intimation that this arrangement does not provide the Council with efficient or effective assistance.
