The Irish Mail On Sunday article was described as "nasty" by the Taoiseach
A newspaper column which criticised the appearance of a number of Fianna Fáil politicians, including Kildare Senator Fiona O'Loughlin, has been described as "deplorable" by a party member.
The Irish Mail On Sunday article by Niamh Walsh was described as "nasty" by the Taoiseach after it criticised the clothes and grooming of eight politicians, who attended the party's convention last week.
The National Women's Council says the comments are "completely unacceptable".
Senator Erin McGreehan, who was named in the article, says it served no purpose but to put people down
The sexist and misogynistic comments made in yesterday’s @IrishMailSunday article about public representatives are completely unacceptable. Misogynistic abuse is a significant and increasing barrier to women's political participation. https://t.co/zcoBkxhYGT
