Pat Ingoldsby chats to schoolboys from Donnycarney on the northside of Dublin.

Pat Ingoldsby asks the boys what they would do if their mothers decide to go on strike? How would they cope?

The boys are confident that they would survive on cornflakes and microwaved rashers.

They also talk about the technology they have from watches to colour televisions and video recorders. On the subject of protecting possessions, they come up with tips for keeping houses safe from burglars.

They are not too impressed when Pat Ingoldsby suggests one of them does a ballet dance.

Get away with your ballet dance.
