We invited TV3′s Morning Show and presenter Sybil Mulcahy up to Taekwon-do Grandmaster Robert Howard’s ‘dojang’ (Korean for school) in Cabra this week for a demonstration on the skills of Taekwon-do.
Grandmaster Howard talked about his promotion in North Korea and showed that at 73 he’s lost little of prowess. Some of his younger more nimble students did the more complicated kicks and punches including a smashing of brick with one punch and the breaking of up to ten tiles with flying kicks. They were even able to break tiles just with their wrists, thus proving that any part of your body can be used to defend yourself.
Sybils was a great sport and even held board as it was broken by Grandmaster Howard’s seven year old grandson Finn.

72 year old Dubliner and Taekwon-do Grandmaster, Robert Howard, has been having a whirlwind few weeks. After being inducted to the Taekwon-do hall of fame in North Korea he has been in much demand from the media wanting to talk to him about his achievements.
Journalist Matt Cooper is a big sports fan and his drivetime radio show, whilst it does feature heavily on current affairs does like to focus on some stories that are a bit different. So they had Grandmaster Howard on the show yesterday.

Shane Curran the head of Global Flood Solutionsm, the Roscommon flood prevention firm, made his mark on national radio this week when he was interviewed by the lovely Kathryn Thomas. She was standing in on the John Murray Show, which airs at 9am every weekday on RTE Radio 1.
Shane was asked to come onto the show after his Big Bags System flood barrier was used to protect the largest wasterwater treatment in the world, situated along the Potoman River in Washington DC. As Hurricane Irene hit last week there were fears that the treatment plant could be flooded. Thankfully disaster was averted.
Being an ex-professional footballer and former GAA Inter-County player Shane is no shrinking violet and he certainly wasn’t complaining getting a chance to talk to Kathryn. She must’ve enjoyed talking to him too as she had him on for nearly ten minutes.
