On news2day there is always a Question of the Week, and with the General Election taking place the gang decided to ask schoolchildren to put the leaders of Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil on the spot.
You can watch the first news2day Election 2024 Interview with the leader of Fine Gael, Simon Harris, by pressing play up top. Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald interview is here, and you can hear from Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin here.
Let's find out what Simon Harris' plans are for Health, Education, Climate Change and lots more in the video up top. Thanks to the kids and their teachers for sending in their great questions.
The 3 leaders were all asked the following:
- St Mary's NS, Trim, Co Meath - How will a new Government improve the healthcare system?
