We sit down with lollipop ladies who spend their mornings and afternoons doing the most under-rated safety job in the city: stepping into live traffic so children can cross the road. They tell us what it’s really like on the kerb, from drivers who try to push through the sign, to the constant weather battle, to the small rules they live by when someone is roaring at them. But the heart of it is the kids. We talk about school crossing patrol as more than road safety, because the lollipop lady can be the first kind face a child meets that day. We get into how they build trust, teach safe habits, keep spirits up on hard mornings, and why safeguarding, Garda vetting, and clear boundaries matter in modern Ireland. We also chat about Dublin City Council support, training, cover, and what good management looks like when your “office” is the middle of the road. Then the conversation goes deeper into the lives behind the high-vis jackets: loneliness after the kids grow up, the women’s clubs that keep people connected, and the friendships that hold you up through the worst years. One guest shares her family’s experience of sudden sight loss and a diagnosis of Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy, the guilt and grief that followed, and the practical ways they adapt, including better accessibility at sports with audio description. If you’ve ever walked past a lollipop lady without a second thought, this will change how you see that corner.
