You Won’t Believe What People Are Criticising TDs For Now

Alana Laverty

A poll by Claire Byrne Live / Amarách Research Panel has revealed that people are not impressed by how our TDs dress. 

The poll revealed that 73% of people want to see a dress code enforced in the Dáil. 22% disagree with the idea entirely and think TDs should be free to wear what they please, while 5% say they are undecided.

The issue was raised after a group of TDs wore Repeal jumpers into the Dáil chamber last month.

And Dáil rules actually state that members should dress “in a manner that reflects the dignity of the House”.
