Hilarious Father Ted moment in Donegal GAA club raffle goes viral

A hilarious Father Ted-like moment during a Donegal GAA club online raffle has gone viral as the brilliant clip does the rounds on social media.

St Eunan's GAA Club held a draw with tickets to see one of Garth Brooks' five sold-out shows at Croke Park next year up for grabs, producing a laugh-out loud moment.

Club chairman John Haran was hosting the draw alongside his young son Ollie, who was given the honours of reading out the winner by his dad.

And with many thinking to the episode of Father Ted where late actor Dermot Morgan's character Father Ted Crilly had rigged a raffle for a new car to replace his old one.

And as Ollie called out the winner to be his dad John, Haran quickly and selflessly claimed that the raffle would be carried out again to avoid any suspicion of bias to laughter from members behind the camera.

To which Ollie quickly responded: "Dad, if we won, we won!"
