Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Of course I accept that the spending of so much money on a bike shed has caused great anger among the public. It was not a decision that I made but I am responsible for the use of the country's money. I understand that the Office of Public Works recently engaged with the Houses of the Oireachtas Commission.

I believe a report from it will be forthcoming on the subject and will lay out what happened and the recommendations to avoid this happening again.
