Looking forward to watching Eating With the Enemy. From the trailers, looks like the structure of the show has slightly changed, too.

We need to think about the office of the uachtarán and how we could possibly use this kind of sporty prowess to intimidate our diplomatic rivals

I've seen myself working with schools, that the issue is across the board even in Gaelscoileanna, which is definitely worrying.
