A bit of good news (well, for Ireland).
Ireland is the 4th freest country in the world according to the new Human Freedom Index 2025. 🇮🇪👏 Irish residents enjoy exceptionally strong freedom of movement, of religion, of relationships, and of expression. Only the Swiss, Danes and New Zealanders rank higher.

Two weeks left to fill in the survey on primary school patronage, co-ed status, and language of instruction, folks: www.gov.ie/en/departmen...
It'll feed into the planning of provision on both a local and national level, so if you're a parent of a primary school aged child or younger, do fill it in
