The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Dress code or cultural identity ... which comes first?

New Zealand's parliament has backed down after ejecting a Maori politician because he refused to wear a tie. They will now allow him to speak without an accessory he labelled a "colonial noose". Should there be a strict business dress code for legislators or should cultural identities come first? Amanullah De Sondy is Head of the Study of Religion at University College Cork, and Sean Barrett is a former Fine Gael TD and Ceann Comhairle. They joined Kieran to discuss whether what happened in New Zealand was appropriate.
