Irish taxpayers are expressing frustration over the €120,000 scanner at the National Gallery, which has remained unused due to the lack of a suitable room. Tánaiste Simon Harris and Taoiseach Micheál Martin expressed their outrage, deeming such wasted public funds incomprehensible. This situation is part of a broader pattern of excessive spending on state projects that have raised questions about fiscal responsibility, as exemplified by criticism over a €336,000 bike shelter and a €1.4m security hut. Opposition parties are demanding accountability for how public money is managed.
The public is all too familiar with stories of big expense and small return when it comes to expenditure that comes hard-earned from their pockets.
Enormous effort and elaborate planning are required to waste this much money; it reflects a profound embarrassment regarding public spending.
