TDs returned to the Dail today after a 68 day break.

Six TDs made a very clear stance in Leinster House by wearing Repeal jumpers which show support for the campaign to repeal the 8th.

All members of the Anti Austerity Alliance and People Before Profit initiative wore the jumpers during Leader’s Questions.

Gino Kenny, Mick Barry, Paul Murphy, Richard Boyd-Barrett, and Bríd Smith and Ruth Coppinger can be seem on the Oireachtas Cameras wearing the black and white jumpers.

Ruth Coppinger tweeted from the Dail during Taoiseach’s Questions stating:

“Taoiseach questioned on . It seems camera angle changed when I pointed out to him what repeal means!”

Several people have pointed out on Twitter that the camera is using strange angles when members of AAA PBP speak and suggest that it is to hide the logo.
