Notwithstanding the security considerations of that, is Mr. Conlon in a position to provide us with a breakdown of the costs of that? I do not mind if he has to remove the sensitive security nature of it, but I am interested to see if it was value for money. We are picking holes in the costs of this bike shelter. A total of €50,000 was paid for granite landscaping and I do not think that was not necessary. The groundworks came to another €50,000. There were also day works completed which Deputy Tóibín has referred to. We could have done that bike shelter completed without excessive work for a relatively high cost but without coming up with that astronomical figure. I want to see if that is reflected in the security project.
