Fianna Fail TD Mr Michael Ahern has accused Manchester United of "ripping off" parents and young fans by launching three new football kits just 12 months after the premiership champions last changed their strip.
The Cork East TD said: "Football clubs need to be more responsible and realise the financial pressure they're putting parents under by launching so many kits in such a short space of time."
The new jerseys will cost more than £30 each or almost £100 in total. They will bring to 19 the number of kits launched by the Manchester club in the past eight years.
