Fashion retailer Urban Outfitters has been criticised for selling items which present a “clichéd” depiction of Irish people as drunk.

Dublin city councillor Naoise Ó Muirí has said the image of Irishness portrayed on the clothing line could be “very damaging” to Ireland as it seeks to rebuilt its image as a place to do business. He called on the retailer to withdraw the items.

He was speaking after it emerged Urban Outfitters was selling t-shirts and hats featuring “Irish yoga” – an image of a person on their hands and knees being sick – and women’s tops reading “Kiss me. I’m drunk or Irish, or whatever.”
