Powerful account by our colleague @sarahannebuckley.bsky.social and Elaine Feeney of the importance of the decision by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment to publish modules addressing the history, legacy and literature of Ireland’s institutions www.thejournal.ie/readme/mothe...

Opinion: To learn the lessons of Ireland's institutional past, we must teach it in schools
Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley and Elaine Feeney welcome plans to teach the history, legacy and literature of Ireland’s dark past at Junior Cert level.
