Barry goes back to his old school to give us a special news2day Explainer on our PR voting system. There's another Election Section, plus lots more stories from Ireland and around the world.
Stream the show on RTÉ Player or watch it now by pressing play on the image above!
The Proportional Representation with a Single Transferrable Vote (PR-STV) electoral system used in Ireland is known as one of the fairest methods of counting votes in an election, but it is also one of the most complicated.
So, to cut through the confusion, Barry enlisted the help of some 6th class students from his old school, Scoil Cholmcille An Tearmann in Co Donegal, to give you the lowdown on how the PR system actually works.
We have more facts with the Election Section. Florence finds out about electric energy, and we there's some non-political pandas to finish the show!
There's lots more content from the show on the news2day website!!
Watch news2day weekdays during the school term at 4.20pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.
