The last update to ECHA news about gifted education in Ireland in 2024, outlined Ireland’s inclusive education policy, our brief and limited history of gifted education, and the work of the Centre for Talented Youth Ireland within this landscape. Although nothing had formally changed within the country’s policies with regards to gifted children at the time, our update finished with a hopeful statement that because of the work that we have been doing, it was felt that the future of gifted education in Ireland was promising. We are delighted to share further updates that we feel indicate positive movements within the field in Ireland, which include new academic appointments, a new Graduate Diploma in Gifted Education, and a very important conference!
