New Dáil Dress Code Proposed |
|
Proposals for a new dress code are being finalised by the Dáil committee on procedures and privileges, with hopes to do away with deputies appearing in 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.

The rules would be enforced via the Ceann Comhairle, who has the power to call, or not to call, members to speak.
