I can tell RBB why a bike shed in Ireland costs more than a house - It is because corruption is acceptable in a country of Gravy Train politics - and it will continue because no-one is ever held accountable - and no-one is ever held accountable because they are all at it...! I remember many years ago the Irish News produced an article on Political cronyism - and it was based on a Fine Gael TD who got the driveways tarmaced to the houses of those who supported his election campaign - the reporter interviewed a Fianna Fail TD and asked him about this abuse of power - and his repsonse was - "Ah sure we would have done the same thing ourselves - only we would probably have been a bit cuter about it...!"
