Mingin’ jeans banned in Dáil dress code

Shabby TDs will have to look smart if they want to be heard when the Dáil returns next month.

Mingin’ jeans banned in Dáil dress code

A new dress code being finalised by the committee on procedures and privileges hopes to do away with deputies parading around the chamber in jeans and T-shirts.

New rules would see speaking rights withheld from TDs who do not abide by the stricter dress code, which will demand that male deputies wear formal trousers, a collared shirt, and a jacket while in the chamber or at committee meetings, while women members will be barred from wearing jeans.
