Maybe it is a question more for the commission, but I cannot see what the issue was, given people have to go past a security hut and gate, which they can get past only with passes and which many people do go past with bicycles every day. Once they have got past the gate, they can go to exactly the place the OPW was proposing to put a different bike shed, which would have been much cheaper. If there were a security issue, the security issue long pre-existed the OPW's proposal for a bike shed. In other words, there was not a security issue. I just do not see what it was. In fact, Ms Collier is suggesting it was a matter of convenience.
