That did not raise any red flags. Okay. The problem is the excuses given for that type of elaborate structure. I have no doubt that the materials in it warrant the cost. However, the question is whether the bike shelter warranted such materials and this question has not been answered. It appears that the answer from everybody is "No" except for Mr. Conlon and the OPW. Nobody is taking responsibility. The Oireachtas Commission has not done so. The Minister has stated unequivocally that it had nothing to do with him. At the committee last week, Mr. Conlon said that the OPW did not want to point the finger at any one individual. Is that correct?
