    The fiddle is the €283K cost of building works and then another €110 of building works to facilitate the security systems installation. For this the design team got €98k?

  2. 190k should have been the cost the temporary one should have been permanent what fuckin room sized hut costs 1.4m crazy shit

    Vote them back in lads, quick.

    I genuinely wonder do they laugh about this kind of stuff at the bar and how nobody, ever is accountable.

    “You’ll have to take some stick for this one at the public accounts hearing PJ, lol……Mistakes were made, lessons were learned”

  4. It’s not a security.. hut there’s dept of agri staff in they’re letting delivery’s In..etc… plus they’re used to be a fellow there .. with s stick.. pushing the barrier button so he didn’t have to get off his seat…. there’s no, it’s the back way into agricultural house..

  5. Internal fittings 20k FFS it’s a “hut” that’s a kitchen and a bathroom in an average semi detached house maybe because it was upgraded to a security cabin !!

  6. In all this talk of it being mad expensive, has anyone gone to get a quote to see how much a bike shed is?

    Additionally, for any cost over 5k, they have to get 3 quotes minimum. For anything over 50k they have to go to tender. So I am wondering what other quotes they said no to which makes this price the best available price.

  7. So the government paid vat in materials and labour which was processed by revenue, who are paid by the government… the people in revenue pay PRSI, USC, income tax, etc. like the rest of us, payments that are then processed by revenue… the entire Irish state and it’s apparatus’ are severely bloated, with jobs being made where there’s no need….

  8. Any one in the construction industry care to give a breakdown of what something like this usually costs?

    Lol, it is such a clear corruption scheme I’m beyond amused that it is not a hot topic in Ireland at all, I’ve even heard irish people convincing me the country has no corruption

    Someone in gov just cleared some good amount of cash for personal needs, it is not “incompetence” as some people claim it to be

    Politely saying as someone coming from country that can write a textbooks on corruption, we eat ultra expensive road repairments for breakfast and never ending bridge constructions for dinner

    This shit needs to be a bigger story.

    The civil and public service spunk away money continuously. Anyone who has been near a public service department knows that they are incentivised to spend their budgets each year for fear the budgets being reduced the following year.

    This culture is the 350k bike shed, it’s the 2.2bn hospital, it’s the HSE overspend, rural broadband rollout estimates etc.
