Ireland is the second most centralised country in the OECD: its counties and regions are (politically) very weak by international standards.
Across government - whether it's health, housing, water or immigration - powerful arms of national government set the agenda with little room for independent local decision-making.
In this video, we explore the alternative to centralism - localism - through the lens of the county with arguably the strongest 'independent' streak: Cork.
Our thanks to Professor Deiric Ó Broin of DCU for speaking to us on this subject.
