TDs should pay for their own masks to wear in Dáil, says Roisin Shortall

Roisin Shortall suggested Dáil members and staff be required to make a payment for a cloth mask if they have forgotten to bring their own, in order to avoid cost and waste.

Politicians should pay for their own face coverings while working in the Dáil, Social Democrats co-leader Roisin Shortall has said.

Ms Shortall said it would not be “good practice” if TDs and ministers were given face coverings for free.
