Some of the best known Irish politicians have been soaked as part of a group Ice Bucket Challenge in Dublin.

TDs Roisin Shortall, Caoimhghin O'Caolain, Mary Mitchell O'Connor and Richard Boyd Barrett along with MEP Mairead McGuinness took part in the event at Trinity College.

They were joined by members of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, which is nominating the Taoiseach Enda Kenny for the challenge.

Will Enda Kenny do the Ice Bucket Challenge?

The social media fundraising initiative has so far raised more than €1.1m for the association.

Former minister and current Fianna Fail councillor Mary Hanafin says volunteers were queuing up to throw the water.
