A new Department of Education survey has reignited one of Northern Ireland’s most controversial debates — integrated education. Just 8% of pupils currently attend integrated schools, but campaigners say that needs to change.

Michael McKernan, Tim, and David clash over the numbers, the quality of education, and whether Northern Ireland’s segregated school system is a “quirk of history” that’s long overdue for reform.

We unpack:

• Why 24% of parents say they’d avoid integrated schools.
• The fight over survey credibility and political bias.
• Whether “Catholic ethos” gives schools an edge in results.
• The real battleground: quality vs integration.

PLUS: Donald Trump’s potential tariff war on Ireland’s pharmaceutical sector — and how it could ripple into Northern Ireland.
