Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have donated €150,000 to three local GAA clubs near Strancally Castle in Waterford, which the couple purchased last month.

It is the couple’s first Irish philanthropic donation since they bought Strancally Castle in August. The three clubs – Shamrocks GAA in Knockanore, Tallow GAA in Tallow, and Lismore GAA in Lismore – will each receive €50,000.
