      Is this bike shelter located inside the gates? If so, you wouldn’t even need to lock the bike. Simon is not going to steal Eamon’s bike.

    4. They went with a custom job instead of an off the shelf one. What was that engineering place quoting 20k for a shelter and fit?

      Small mercies, it could have cost €499,999.99.

      I imagine making the secretary general (or equivalent in the OPW) personally liable for these sorts of actions would cut a lot of nonsense out fairly quickly.
