Wallace: Bid to change dress code ‘ridiculous’

EFFORTS to improve sartorial standards in the Dáil have been described by an Independent TD as “ridiculous”, “outrageous” and proof of the disconnect between the parliament and the public.

Leinster House sources have confirmed that a motion will come before the Dáil shortly seeking for casually dressed TDs to smarten up.

If passed, it would require TDs to dress in business attire — either a suit or jacket and trousers, although it’s believed a tie will remain optional.
