Insight examines what place religious education has in schools
In an increasingly diverse and secular country, the provision of Christian education in state-run primary schools is under threat.
Its slow demise is applauded by parents wanting religion gone from junior classrooms.
But its decline disturbs those who say children cannot properly understand New Zealand history and culture without knowing something about Christianity.
Insight visits Ireland to discover that the much heralded roar of the Celtic Tiger has turned in to a whimper

But it has fallen harder than most during the global recession and its banking system is in a mess.
Radio New Zealand's Economics Correspondent, Nigel Stirling investigates what went wrong and what lessons there are for New Zealand.
