WITH THE COUNTRY set to go to the polls today, we thought we would catch up with an oft-forgotten constituency – children.

The boys of St Laurence O’Toole’s CBS shared their opinions on what is happening today, with Taoiseach Enda Kenny a remarkably popular figure.

Although, with Love/Hate filming nearby, the Taoiseach is not the most pressing thing on their minds.

Here, they tell us that they believe politicians do good, work hard, make a lot of money, but don’t attract girls.
