Liam Cunningham has taken aim at the government after the Office of Public Works (OPW) revealed the true cost of a bike shed at Leinster House, which houses 18 bikes, to be €335,000
Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham has fumed at the Government spending €335,000 on a bike shed - saying "we're being led by donkeys".
In a statement, the OPW said the project was procured via a framework agreement and complies with public procurement and planning guidelines. It also said: "We recognise the importance of ensuring that public money is spent transparently." Tánaiste Micheál Martin said that it was an “incredible cost for a mere bike shelter”, while Justice Minister Helen McEntee said that she believed it was an “astronomical” amount of money to pay.
“It’s the government policies, they’re putting up their hands and saying they made a mess of it. They allowed the market to dictate what the price of houses are and they’re suffering for it now. We need to have some social justice and fairness.”
