First published in 1774, the classic nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock has been given a trigger warning over 250 years since it was originally published.
This comes after a theatre production of the kids’ classic Three Little Pigs was criticised for placing a similar trigger warning on its content.

Joining guest host Jonathan Healy to discuss this is Columnist with The Irish Daily Mail and Sunday Independent, Brenda Power.
