Rob Kearney, Amy Huberman and the Taoiseach star in new anti-homelessness video

After watching this video, we never want to be interviewed by David Rawle. Not that that was likely to happen, anyway.

The Moone Boy star subjected Rob Kearney, Amy Huberman and An Taoiseach Enda Kenny to a grilling in this short video made by Focus Ireland in partnership with Aviva.

And he doesn't go easy.

The very funny video has a serious aim however - to highlight the importance of education especially when it comes to preventing homelessness among young people.

The latest census data show that a quarter of adults experiencing homelessness didn't finish primary school and 50% didn't complete their secondary education while 8% had no formal education at all.

Focus Ireland and Aviva are working together on the Education Matters programme which will target young people who are at a high risk of falling out of the education system due to homelessness or housing insecurity.

As the Taoiseach tells young David:

"Everybody has a contribution to make and they can find what that contribution is by staying in school."

Oh and now we know that Enda never flushed his sandwiches down the toilet when he was at school.

In case you were wondering.
