VIDEO: Ice Bucket Challenge comes to Crosshaven as redheads become wet heads

From redheads to wet heads — the main organisers of Ireland’s biggest festival of foxiness got in on the ice bucket craze sweeping the nation yesterday.

In one of his first official duties, the newly crowned king of the redheads, bearded Gary Fitzgibbon, 22, had to pour ice water over Irish Redhead Convention founder Joleen Cronin and her key lieutenants as the three-day festival came to a close in Crosshaven, Co Cork.

Gary, from Crosshaven, and his queen, curly flame-haired Laura-May Keohane, 21, from Kinsale, were crowned on Saturday.
