Watch: Kids tell us what they think is happening today - and what they think of politicians

They believe that politicians do good, work hard and don’t attract girls.

Updated 11pm

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.
