'Wooden it be Nice' was started by a TY student at the Mercy School, Finn Gannon.
A Westmeath student is in the national Foroige NFTE Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Awards final.
TY student from Mercy School in Kilbeggan, Finn Gannon, is at the final competition in Croke Park today representing Leinster out of 6,000 entrants.
