Businessman’s hands full with bra bid

A fashion shop owner is honing his technique and looking for support to beat a bra-opening world record next month.

West Cork businessman Sean Murray, whose Skibbereen shop houses the region’s largest lingerie department, has issued an appeal for at least 70 women — or men — to flock to his store on Saturday, Oct 26, to let him pop open their bras in a record-breaking bid for a cancer charity.

He will have to display deft fingerwork using just one hand to unclasp more than 69 bras in 60 seconds if he is to break Dutch-man Dennis Storm’s 2012 record.
