On news2day there is always a Question of the Week, and with the General Election taking place this week, the gang decided to ask schoolchildren to put the leaders of Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil on the spot.
They wanted to know what the 3 leaders plan to do about big issues like Health, Education and Climate Change, as well as a fun one on their Toy Show talent!
Press play on each image below where you will hear from Fine Gael Leader Simon Harris, Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald and Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin.
On Monday Fine Gael Leader Simon Harris was first up to answer your questions.
On Tuesday Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald gave her answers.
And on Wednesday's show Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin took his turn tackling the questions.
Massive thanks to all the students and teachers who sent in their 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?
