Classic wastes of public money in the last few years?

5K?

You’re in that field aren’t you?
So that would be a pretty educated guess.

I’ll leave a few others have a go first.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE COST OF THIS LOGO MENTIONED ELSEWHERE THEN PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE

5k? for a circle with a name in it?

why the need for a stinking logo in the first place? here’s you logo, Intreo. boom, youre welcome.

Not exactly my field but it doesn’t take an expert to figure out how much time should’ve been spent on that

[quote=“The Runt, post: 738690, member: 181”]Anyone care to put a price on the logo below. (It’s for the new Dole Office system).

The going rate times 20 I suppose. I’d say €30k

7.5k, Runt.

10K

How long is the competition open for Runt?

That’s enough guesses. no one wins.

The answer is apparently:
€60,000

Now the article doesn’t specify that the cost was for logo only, but it certainly gives the impression it was.

Sorry Rocko, it’s over. I just gave the answer in the post above.
I was too giddy to contain my excitement.

Shrubbery removed from promenade amid fears ‘attackers are lurking’

Shrubbery on the Clontarf waterfront has been cut down
Niall O’Connor – 15 February 2013
A LARGE section of shrubbery along a prominent Dublin seaside promenade has been dug up amid fears over attacks on women.
Clontarf residents say there have been a number of incidents in which women were followed and threatened by strangers who had been lurking in the bushes along the popular seafront.
City officials are spending €10,000 removing the shrubs as a result of complaints from residents.
Gardai are investigating one particular claim that a female walker was followed by a man late last month. The woman fled the promenade after encountering the man and managed to alert a passerby.
In a separate incident, another woman has alleged that she was approached by a man who demanded her handbag.
The Clontarf Residents Association today said they have received reports of numerous incidents in which walkers felt threatened by people lurking in the undergrowth.
“This shrubbery has been allowed grow and grow and it’s now got to a stage where people don’t feel safe,” according to the association’s Deirdre Tobin.
“There have been several incidents that we have been made aware of where people felt scared and it’s got to a stage where the council has to act,” she added.
Ms Tobin said there was an issue of people “sleeping rough” in the shrubbery which was causing concern.
Nicer
“The work has begun but it’s going to take time and shrubbery will be removed intermittently. At the end of the work, we believe the promenade will be much nicer as well as safer,” she added.
As a result of the complaints, the council has begun removing the shrubbery.
Local councillor Damian O’Farrell confirmed that a |sum of €10,000 has been budgeted for the first phase of the works.
“The promenade has a special place in the hearts of the residents of Clontarf. It’s vital that it is a place where families and walkers feel comfortable and secure. I have received assurances from the city council that the money will be there to complete these works.”

  • 10k to remove and dispose of a few bushes. Good Christ.

Scandalous.

€10k to remove the shrubs is nothing. Thought it’d cost tree times that.

Disappointed the fact the department of social protection spent 60k getting a bit of branding done is getting overshadowed by a few bushes

60k is nothing for a rebrand for fuck sake.

The shite that people crib about in this country is ridiculous.

TASE spent 70k on his and it was worth every penny.

Quite a few transactions for 19999 I reckon.
