In this thought-provoking episode, Niall speaks with the author of a recent article that questions the direction of Ireland’s education system—and, more broadly, our national identity. The discussion focuses on the updated early years curriculum Aistear, which curiously credits babies as participants in its development, and introduces the idea of raising “agentic global citizens.”
Are we losing sight of what it means to be Irish? Is our cultural heritage being diluted in the name of inclusivity and ideology? Niall also takes calls from the public to hear their views on Irishness today: from concerns about the role of Catholicism in schools, to the growing influence of globalist thinking in Irish education.
Are we still raising Irish citizens—or just citizens of everywhere?
Join the conversation and ask yourself: What does it mean to be Irish in 2025?
