A Fianna Fáil MEP has demanded a €5 levy on Shein fashion packages, citing human rights and environmental concerns. 

The Chinese fashion line sells cheap clothing to millions around the world but critics claim it is immoral to buy from the company. 

Dublin MEP Barry Andrew notes Shien is under investigation for “any number of infractions”

Mr Andrews that this all adds up to “unfair competition” for Irish firms. 

While he acknowledges that the cost of living crisis means many people appreciate cheap prices, he still believes the overall record of the company means it is “very hard to defend”. 

Barry Andrews joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
