Lorraine Smyth from 283 Green Acres, Dundalk, battled it out against three finalists live on-air in front of a massive crowd, to become the nationwide winner in the O’Briens & Today FM’s Shambo™ Shakedown Competition Finale, beside O’Briens Sandwich Bar, Level 1 Dublin Airport, on Monday 3rd October, 2005.

“Lorraine was a true champion, she answered the Shambo™ Shakedown questions effortlessly, and although she claimed to be nervous in front of the crowd she was a real pro under pressure!” said Tony Fenton, Tony Fenton’s Lunchtime Show, Today FM.

We hope both Lorraine and Declan enjoy their fantastic trip to Cape town South Africa and hope they pop into Ian Said, O’Briens Franchise Partner, Cape town for a Shambo™ “, said Fiacra Nagle, M.D. O’Briens Ireland.
