We’re just looking for the real kids of Ireland, Accents from every corner of the country. Tall kids, short kids, awkward kids, lanky kids, energetic kids, kids who stutter and kids who are almost alarmingly eloquent for their years. We’ve all met them! We’ll find kids with disabilities, and kids without, and kids from every background. We’ll cast twins, triplets, best mates and worst enemies, Nothing cuter than completely innocent love-hate between some children.
