Hickory Dickory Dock gets trigger warning - a step too far?

First published in 1774, the classic nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock has been given a trigger warning over 250 years since it was originally published. This comes after a theatre production of the kids’ classic Three Little Pigs was criticised for placing a similar trigger warning on its content. This begs the question, are we taking this trigger-happy approach to content warnings on children’s literature a step too far? Joining guest host Jonathan Healy to discuss this is Columnist with The Irish Daily Mail and Sunday Independent, Brenda Power.
