That’s amazing. What a colossal waste of money for that. Whoever was responsible in the OPW for this needs to be punished.

Do bikes even need shelter?
An auld bus shelter for actual humans in some of our provincial towns and villages would have been much more appreciated.

“The stand was built with a special cantilevered canopy that is designed to protect from the prevailing northerly winds”
From RTE article. Except we don’t have prevailing northerly winds in Ireland.

Could they fit the photocopier into it?
Shite like this should be enough to bring a government down.

When the story first came out, and the explanations started coming through with “we needed to do this consultation, x surveying needed done, we needed to consider the historic nature of the area, the security requirements etc. etc.” I thought it sounded excessive but wasn’t going to go full Joe Duffy on it.
But lads, it is a fancier version of the racks at my children’s school, in fact they would fit more bikes in that space.
Wow, this is what happens when you let government play with taxpayer’s money.

That can’t be the one that’s being talked about. Surely for 335k it’s like an armoured bunker with fingerprint or face recognition.

Needs to be more uproar and public backlash for this kind of sh*te we can’t have the racist blank says no groups being the only ones who go out and protest

I’d rather 100 shitty bike shelters than more money being spent to cater to cars. Bring it on.

Did BAM build it..?
I know you can play this game with any amount of government or local council spending but that is about the same cost of an affordable family home.
€18mn spent on Dun Laoghaire baths, great amenity but the Spanish, French etc would knock that out for a fraction.

For 335k you would expect to find it dry at least….
Per bike
18611,11 EUR for a year

Could have bought them all 2 bikes worth 775 eur each, every month….
