A day out in my pyjamas

After a Dublin social welfare office ‘banned’ visitors wearing PJs, Jonathan deBurca Butler took to the streets in his.

A SOCIAL welfare office in Blanchardstown, North Dublin, caused surprising ructions last week when it told the public that “pyjamas are not regarded as appropriate attire when attending community welfare services.”

To find out how the people of Dublin felt about the ‘controversy’, I dressed in my best navy blue pyjama top and red tartan bottoms, grey bathrobe and pink slippers, and took to the streets of the capital.
