Gregory vows to be casual Ceann Comhairle

Casually-dressed Independent TD Tony Gregory believes he won’t have to buy a tie if he becomes Ceann Comhairle in the next Dáil.

Mr Gregory, who has refused to wear a tie in the Dáil for 25 years to reflect his working class roots, is tipped to net the post if he supports a Fianna Fáil-led Government.
