A teenage disco in Kilkenny has defended its strict dresscode for girls.
The Fusion Ball shared a post on Facebook ahead of its mid-term event, telling girls to wear knee length dresses with no plunging necklines
It said it was necessary to enforce the rules after the ‘deplorable dresses’ at a previous disco.
After the post sparked a huge backlash, the event page wrote that the dress code has always been in place, to ensure that children attend in a safe, supervised and fun environment.
