The Newstalk 106 presenter and RTE pundit was doing his bit for the IRFU Charitable Trust, plunging his ‘ample frame’ into an icy-cold, water-filled Guinness Draught Can Dunker at the top of Grafton Street.
The Trust – founded as a registered charity (Charity Reference no: CHY6120) in 1978 is designed to assist seriously injured rugby players in their everyday lives and helps to restore their confidence and independence.
You can support the Trust – which is administered by an IRFU sub-committee, and depends on the support of the Union and fundraising, such as the dunking – by becoming a member of the ‘Friends of the Charitable Trust’.
Just click on the ‘Charitable Trust’ link on the left-hand side of this page, and fill out the attached application form.
The operation – in existence for three years – greatly helps both seriously injured players and their carers, with 500 members already signed up to the subscription-based scheme.
