Children from a rural national school set up a food-ordering service after their only local shop closed down – and have bagged a national entrepreneur award for their efforts.

The children from third to sixth class at Knocknagoshel National School in the village of Knocknagoshel, Co Kerry, established the Mall Market earlier this year.
