Description

A Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality could be reasonably expected to deliberate on the term “gender” but this did not happen. The Assembly changed the term “gender” to “gender identity” and this route was taken without open deliberation or discussion with the 99 citizen members. Academic and writer Colette Colfer argues that we are in 1984 territory as she argues while words like diversity are used there is actually no diversity of opinion or thought in these groups and people are often afraid to express their opinions. “There’s shaming, cancelling and ostracising” says Colette.

Hosts Michael Kelly and David Quinn also examine why there is so much fear in Ireland’s university campuses where debate is being stifled and speakers shamed and cancelled.
