VIDEO: The breakingnews.ie team complete the Ice Bucket Challenge

So we did it... And now we're cold.

Some of us here at breakingnews.ie are feeling a little chilly this afternoon.

Yesterday, we were nominated by two of our wonderful readers (thanks again for that) to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge and since all the cool kids are doing it these days, how could we say no?

So off we went to get buckets and ice and to steel our nerves and, this morning, four brave companions (some people were “off”) took to the rooftops of breakingnews.ie towers to complete the Challenge that has taken over the internet.

Surprisingly, there was no shortage of volunteers to dump the (very full) buckets of ice and water over our heads.

Funny that…

Breakingnews.ie will donate €100 to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and we encourage you to donate whatever you can.

And we’ve nominated Michael Freeman and the team over at The Daily Edge, Deirdre O’Shaughnessy and the 96FM Opinion Line and YouTuber Clare Cullen to take on the Challenge next.

You have 24 hours.
