The children, who are living with serious illnesses, were made honorary Gardaí through the foundation, which works closely with families across the country.
During the visit, they arrived on mini Garda motorbikes and were greeted by members of the Oireachtas and senior Gardaí.
Politicians were in safe hands today as young honourary Gardaí visited Leinster House. The children, supported by the Little Blue Heroes Foundation, travelled from Tipperary for a special VIP day.

Representatives of the Little Blue Heroes Foundation said the visit is part of their ongoing efforts to acknowledge the bravery of the children and involve them in community and state activities.
