The Irish Daily Mail recently published this utterly bizarre column by Niamh Walsh in which the columnist takes swipes at various female politicians because of their, in her opinion, lacklustre sense of style. As you can imagine, it didn't go down well with either the politicians nor the general public.
It's a baffling read that sounds like it was lifted from an issue decades old, and it's hard to know what Walsh thought she might reasonably be achieving with it. It has left a sour taste in most people's mouths but then the piece does begin with Walsh preempting criticism for her words by declaring 'I. DON'T. CARE.'
