The Today Show was live from Munstergroup on Bindon Street in Ennis today for their Health Week, Gavin Grace spoke with their Director, Padraic McNicholas, about what took place throughout the week and how they aim to promote health awareness through their business.
Gavin also spoke with Michelle O’Donnell Keating. Michelle is the Co Founder
of the “Women for Election” Group. They discussed today’s conference in Dublin Castle entitled “How to Elect More Women?” It comes as the Taoiseach says he and his fellow party members may need to change their behaviour to ensure meetings take family considerations into account. New laws are in the pipeline that will ensure at least 30 per cent of election candidates in Ireland are women.
Molly Muldoon, Deputy Editor with Irish Central in New York joined the Today Show for her weekly feature of news from the other side of the Atlantic. Molly discussed the latest on US Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney and how he may return to Pittsburgh where his football team The Steelers are based. She also gave us details about the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day festivities in the States.
Gavin was also joined live in the Clare FM Cruiser by Ron “Chopper” Harris, the well-known former Chelsea Defender. Ron discussed his long-term career with Chelsea, which lasted over 20 years and about his success as a defender. Ron is in Ennis to visit the Chelsea Supporters Club here. Their representative Jim McMahon joined him in studio to talk about events they have planned for his visit. The Ennis Chelsea Supporters Club (which meet in Moroney’s for live televised games) are holding a social on Saturday 21st January in The Templegate Hotel, Ennis at 8pm.

Simon Thomas from the Iomlan Meditation Centre in Ennis joined Gavin to talk about the Chinese New Year, which begins on Monday 23rd January. This is the year of the Water Dragon. He spoke about how Chinese astrology uses 12 animal signs to describe the energy or characteristic traits of each year and month. Everything that happens in a particular year is influenced by these traits or energy. As we head into a New Year, we look to see if our sign is going to have an easy and harmonious relationship with the energy of the year or if instead it is going to be more of a clash and struggle.
