Labour’s Education Spokesperson Aodhán Ó Ríordáin has said that the prevalence of single-sex schools in Ireland needs to be analysed to address issues of gender inequality such as toxic masculinity.

Food writer and critic Tom Doorley and screenwriter and columnist Stefanie Preissner both went to single sex schools, and they gave Mark their opinions on Thursday's edition of The Hard Shoulder.
