The Fine Gael thread

And the gall of Simon Harris to stand in front of the TV cameras talking about how shocked he is about it, as though he's not the f**king Taoiseach, and as though his party wasnt behind the new Childrens Hospital on track to become the most expensive hospital ever built in the world.

More neck than the giraffe enclosure at the zoo.

Sure at least they have the money to squander with another €8bn+ surplus again this year, while in the North they will have to cut heating allowance to pensioners, Stormont getting reprimanded for water pollution, and Starmer across the water telling UK get ready for pain. The shed will a lovely facility for the Blueshirts to park their bicycles.

For €355,000 you'd think it would be something fairly spectacular alright, but no.

Seems a right rip off but presumably there was a tender or quotes obtained?

We're talking 0.004% of Public expenditure

Doesn't mean to say public money should be wasted. All those 0.004% of wasted public money soon add up to a substantial figure.

Ah right, that's ok then. Nothing to see here.

Looks well that one !

Seriously though, what a f**king disgrace. 300 grand is hard earned for the vast majority of people and they've literally just pissed it up against the wall.

Drop in the ocean compared to the childrens hospital though I suppose.

Lol.  Trying to ease the pain a bit for FFG.

Move on. Nothing to see here.

At least the Children's Hospital will be of long term national benefit when complete.

This is a fcking bike stand!
It costs more than my 4-bed semi-d did a decade ago.

Where's your 4 bedroom semi? D4?

Doesn't give you much faith in future capital developments that need to be done in this country no matter how much they fleece us through taxes. It'll all be wasted and syphoned off by savvy contractors taking advantage of dumb f*** officials or just plain corruption.
Then you have the other side of the spectrum in the same week with the promise of 300,000 housing units for €39B. 130K a unit!    I'd love to hear the breakdown on that but at face value that's seriously naive stuff and will never happen. Depressing to dwell on it TBH.

In an ideal world people would be going to prison for this bike shed fraud but it will just be another case of 'lessons will be learned'.

€325k for a 2 bed in Laythrum
