Thank you, Chair. The order of magnitude costing that was done did not contain within it the €11,000 that was needed to ensure the bike shed could be safe during the winter. Why was a kind of bike shed for all seasons not built, or how did the OPW end up getting surprised or stung with a bill for €11,000 at the end? Surely the specification would have been to build a bike shed that could be used for 12 months of the year rather than to build a bike shed and then be hit with another bill for €11,000 to make it safe during the winter. I am sure I am not the only person scratching my head looking at that.
