Well the prize money didn't last long:

John donated his winnings to the "Ice Bucket Challenge" Quincey owner of the Wicklow Wolf brewery was challenged and decided to use ice cold beer instead! That raised €250 for the MND campaign.

This campaign is HUGH

One of the lads in the club was doused with 100 litres of iced water!!
