Finally. Why has it taken so long? From IrishCentral.com

GET RID OF IRISH DANCING WIGS AS WELL AS MAKEUP, SAY PARENTS
Our Facebook page has been flooded with comments. It is highly unusual that there is agreement on anything on our stories, but when over 500 parents essentially say the same thing, you know this one is different.

In addition to Facebook, the Irish Central article itself has a slew of similar remarks beneath it - see links below. (Apologies for the lack of clickies but the Cat is so slow that the page keeps timing out - so it's a copy-&-paste job unless some other kind soul can oblige.)
