A Dublin restaurant has appeared to poke fun at Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey with a sign on a swing-chair at its front entrance reading "strictly no politicians".
A hawk-eyed Reddit user spotted the chair on Dawson Street in Dublin city centre.
The gag refers to the political controversy involving Bailey earlier this year.
It comes after the controversial compensation case where Fine Gael TD Maria Bailey was slammed for taking legal action against a hotel for a swing-chair fall.
The Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown TD dropped her case in May after it emerged that she ran a 10km race just three weeks after the incident.
Sprout and Co Kitchen's swinging chair was spotted by Reddit user u/SaltyZooKeeper who posted the image online.
One user replied to the image saying: "Can someone Photoshop (Jacob) Reece-Mogg onto it?"
Maria Bailey's case sparked outrage from the public, however, some people used the story as inspiration for witty parade floats and, more recently, for some Halloween costumes.
In August a group of people from Courtmacsherry, Co Cork, dressed up as the Fine Gael TD as well as RTE's Sean O'Rourke.
And in Dublin, a Halloween reveller went viral after dressing up as Bailey - wearing a blonde wig and a blue dress while sitting on a makeshift swing-chair.
A spokesman for Sprout and Co told the Irish Mirror: "The swing seat was an idea we had built for our new restaurant on Dawson Street.
"On it we made a lighthearted reference to the recent SwingGate scandal.
"Politicians along with people from all walks of life will always be welcome in our restaurants.
"We invite passers-by to use our swing but would ask that they are extra vigilant when doing so."
