The Bicycle Shelter at Leinster House

Gentlemen, – It seems I’m not the brightest bulb, but understanding is gradually dawning on me.

Putting £54 million towards electronic voting paraphernalia? Now that’s assertive governance.

Laying out £2.24 billion for fresh grounds for children’s hospital? That’s assertive bidding.

Forking out £500 for a gig ticket? Now that’s assertive economic planning.

As for Kevin Kilbane’s assertion: Ireland may be lacking in midfielders, however, the missing tenacity is simply unjustifiable.

On the inquiry regarding Simon Harris and Keir Starmer’s potential impact on the Anglo-Irish rapport- ‘Things are looking promising’.

Emer McLysaght’s keen observation: Having a property does not assure a parking slot out front. Ownership of a home does not encompass the adjacent road.

What can £198,000 procure in Ireland, France, Spain, The US and Sweden?

A whopping £336,000 going to a bike shed? Now that’s assertive subcontracting. – Regards,

NOEL SHANAGHY,

Gentlemen, – Justine McCarthy’s account of catastrophic events serves as an alarm for all governing officials and high-level civil employees. The general belief amongst taxpayers, like, me is that the paid taxes are prudently managed.

There seems to be an alarming deficit of responsibility though. – Regards,

County Dublin.

Gentlemen, – Maybe it’d be beneficial for the sake of clarity if the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee considered having their upcoming rendezvous in the new shed. – Regards,

Gentlemen, – Pursuant to my letter on the 6th of September, I’m worried the universal adoption of the National Bicycle Shed pricing unit of £336,000 might be abbreviated to BS units, which could jeopardise its validity. – Regards,

Gentlemen, – Hop on, lads. – Regards,

YVONNE McGANN,
Kilkee,
County Clare.

Dear Editor,

I find it highly fascinating that under the prevailing laws, the monetary value one can inherit without the obligation of tax payment is notably similar to the cost of constructing a bicycle storage facility intended for government officials.

Kind regards,

Anne M. O’Connor,
Ashbourne,
County Meath.
