That isn’t what he said by the way. He said that the total cost for the works amounted to that, but that those works were broader than for the security hut itself and included routing of cables for the security system throughout the campus.

Might be a bit of an urban legend, but apparently the toilet that was installed in the garden of remembrance, for the queens visit, cost 250k

Throw out a number on twitter and sit back for the outrage from people this would seem to be……without any actual information which anyone in their right mind would ask for this just seems to be someone looking to feed the permanently outraged
It’s been a terrible few hours for Paschal Donohoe, no doubt his grubby little weasel paws are all over this.

I’d imagine I could build a house bigger than any I’ve lived in for 1.5 million.
But alas, just a security hut

Where is the fucking accountability? Ireland ranking so high on the anti-corruption lists is a fucking joke.

I’m watching the hearing, what’s most striking is the complete absence of due diligence. Stuff just gets signed off.

Has everyone struggling to buy home tried to just build the most minor thing for the government? One security hut and you’re set up in Dalkey!

There seems to be a rather bare-faced sleaze scheme in those small public works contracts.

The independent has fully turned into a tabloid generating outrage clicks from misleading headlines.

I am writing to my TDs to ask for the breakfown of civil servants fired for gross misconduct, starting at principal officer and above since 2010.
Guarantee it’s going to be 0, or some bullshit about how they can’t release find that information.

We’re getting absolutely rinsed with shit like this, lads. OPW needs to be cleared out and people with an actual sense of fucking reality needs to be put in there.

Are people shocked by this? In my 30 years of life in this country all I’ve known is the Irish government, in whatever form, to be nothing but cowboys and scumbags.

In fairness, I don’t see the issue here, YET. You would need the best security measures put in place and that is no small cost. The fucking ridiculous part is the copper roof.
But this is really one of those no expenses spared with reason kinda thing.
Security of the top-spec technology kind is not cheap at all. Wait and see.
The overall issue is there is a cavalier approach to signing things off and not seeking value for money. It begets an attitude that we can charge whatever we want with no bother because they don’t give a fuck how much it costs.
How fucking thick can you be to not bat an eye on the cost of the bike shed and even from a point of pride you’re known as a fool for just handing out money like a gullible gobshite.

Dublin seriously needs to fuck off and get some sort of outside regulator appointed by the supreme court to figure out whats going on because it’s drunk as fuck on notions making the ghost of Nero blush while , and I’m just representing my own Cork City here, we can’t even get a powerhoser to wash the fucking city center streets let alone get the (BAM) events center started right in the city center.
Somethings seriously gone way out of proportionate whack in this country , capital v rest.

Ok, what does a security hut cost?
