Jim PowerHOST
And I guess delighted to be supporting local charities.
Jim PowerHOST
And on that subject, I was showing Cormac, I just got a WhatsApp message from the treasurer of Waterford GAA, wondering would I speak at a fundraising breakfast in early November.
Jim PowerHOST
So there's another charity you might think about.
Jim PowerHOST
Yeah.
Eoin McDevittHOST
And now he's trying to buy the West Waterford Junior B Hurling Championship.

Ian DempseyHOST
One of the big stories this week was Mark Zuckerberg's donation of €150,000 to three Waterford GAA clubs after his recent purchase of a castle in the county.
Ian DempseyHOST
It sparked a debate among the hurling elite, starting with John Milan.

Cormac McQuinnPANELIST
So depending on that metric, Zuckerberg earns €26,000 that time span.
Cormac McQuinnPANELIST
So it took him just six minutes to make the €150,000 he gave to three Waterford GAA clubs.
Cormac McQuinnPANELIST
So that kind of puts it a bit in... perspective and he obviously questions why these three particular clubs got such money when there's 20 odd clubs nearby but it was kind of the closing kicker as well that I quite enjoyed you know it's And Ciarán saying that, you know, the GAA is not something that can be bought and volunteerism is at its heart.
Cormac McQuinnPANELIST
So he said that Zuckerberg's blink-free visage, the diminished social skills and the best ambivalent idea of fair play, the blank stare.

Shane ColmanHOST
Now, a €150,000 boost is heading to three West Waterford GAA clubs, courtesy of Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Shan.
Shane ColmanHOST
The couple, who brought Strancalli Castle in August, have chosen Shamrocks GAA in Knockanore, Tallow GAA and Lismore GAA as the recipients of their first Irish philatelic competition.
Shane ColmanHOST
What's the word, Ciara? Philanthropic.
John MullanePANELIST
And the fifth is between one and two.
John MullanePANELIST
I'm either going to go Shane McGrath-Tipperary or I'm going to go with our own own Kelly Waterford.
John MullanePANELIST
O'Kelley Water, lads, was explosive.
John MullanePANELIST
And he was back in his prime.
26 MINS LATER
John MullanePANELIST
And he's that type of player where I would say that if you go and put the arm around him and kind of give him a little bit of guidance, he'd go out and do anything for him.
John MullanePANELIST
anything for you and that's why I think his best years were probably under Derek McGrath and to be fair to Sean Power as well Sean Power when he had him underage as well he was probably able to tick those boxes as well and he was able to get the best out of Austin at minor level and under 20 and I suppose Liam Cattle came in in the COVID years but I definitely maintain if Derek McGrath had him between the ages of 26, 31 Austin Gleeson wouldn't be retiring he wouldn't be retiring he'd be still playing But what a special, special talent, lads.
John MullanePANELIST
And he will go down as one of Waterford's greatest ever players.
John MullanePANELIST
That's set in stone.
