Dáil bike shed
The Dáil bike shed, or bike shelter, is a roofed bicycle parking rack at the rear of Leinster House, Dublin, Ireland that was completed in April 2024 and became the subject of controversy in the Irish government and media in September of that year after its disproportionately high cost was revealed. Construction of the shelter was outsourced by the Office of Public Works to Sensori Facilities Management. It cost €336,051 and allows for the storage of 18 bicycles. The bike shed is on the east side of the Leinster House complex, at the side of a green area named Leinster Lawn, which faces Merrion Square. The story received so much coverage in September 2024 and the months following, that a number of news sources applied a 'Bike Shed' tag to their articles on the subject.
