Dublin Fire Brigade have raised €10,000 after a successful charity challenge for visually impaired children.
Firefighters, alongside staff from Saint Joseph's Primary School, uploaded themselves on social media dancing to Daft Punk's hit "One More Time". The rendition was recorded at North Strand fire station and has amassed over 14,000 views on YouTube alone.
All funds will go towards the Drumcondra school and will ensure students have access to extra resources and activities. Dublin Fire Brigade uploaded a touching photo of school staff receiving the hard earned cheque.

They wrote on Instagram: "Late last year, firefighters and officers of C Watch at North Strand, special needs assistants from Saint Joseph's Primary School for Children with Visual Impairment, and choreographer Ali Flood collaborated to create the Daft Funk Brigade charity dance."
They continued: "At the weekend a cheque for over €10,000 was presented to the school as a result of the Go Fund Me campaign. The money will go towards the extraordinary pupils of the school."
The post went on to thank the public for their support of the video, which was produced by creator Harry Merton. Staff said they were "bowled over" by the public response to their charity challenge.
