I propose to take Questions Nos. 205, 208, 211, 212, 217 and 232 together.

I have requested that my officials in the Office of Public Works carry out an immediate, full review into the Leinster House covered bicycle shelter project.

I am currently awaiting the finalised report from the Chairman of the OPW.
