Do RTE have a dress code and presentation standard?

    Watching the RTE nine o'clock news and the presenter does not look professional and suitably presented as a newsreader - 70s-style white coloured shapeless trouser suit, mad hair, panda eyes and generally affected manner.

    All the other RTE newsreaders and those on other channels are appropriately presented.

    Can they just look whatever way they want on RTE?

    I've actually wondered about her quite bizzare wardrobe, I'm no fashion expert but she has some strange looking outfits, one one evening, I'm sure she was wearing a jump suit with parachute tucked in, just bizzare.

    To be fair to her, I’ve noticed her style has changed immensely since she had that stalker incident. She used to wear very different clothes and now she seems to wear very modest, shapeless clothes. Give her a break guys.

    Her morning Ireland broadcasts are just Hillarious, I sense she thinks she's talking to a hens night.

    Much as I detest RTE in general, what exactly is "suitably presented as a newsreader"? They're reading the news, not going to a funeral

    Imagine them trying to wear style? What would you like boring suits?

    Smart and professional, similar to the other newsreaders rather than trying to make herself 'the news'.

    Prettifying to within an inch of her life (Panda eyes, mad hair, bizarre clothes) detracts from the role of newsreader

    Belt is to help with their microphone packs.
