The sky's the limit
The Leinster House bike shed doesn’t even have a solid wall to hide behind for a smoke or a snog. – Yours, etc,Sir, – First the national children’s hospital and now the bike shed. Could our politicians have a go at organising a session in Guinness’s brewery? – Yours, etc,A chara, – I couldn’t help but notice the irony in the recent controversy surrounding the construction of a bike shed at Leinster House.
Meanwhile, myself and fellow active travellers have for a decade now requested the disintegrated bike lanes that run in- and outbound from RTÉ to Donnybrook church be repaired and maintained. This has never happened; yet RTÉ is to receive a €725 million bailout on the back of its governance failings.
The common denominator is that the above waste is funded by us, the taxpayers, who see nothing in return. – Yours, etc,Sir, – Can a Government spokesperson explain why the taxpayer has been saddled with such an expensive bike shed? – Yours, etc,Sir, – The bicycle shed at Leinster House should be dismantled and re-erected as an art installation at the nearby National Gallery.
