THE HISTORY OF ALDI
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi's first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi's popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it's expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: 'At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
'To date, we've invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
'As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.'
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.

Vibrant waterfront gem in Cork is tailor-made for family adventures this summer
With its iconic harbour location, playful streetscapes, and deep-rooted ties to emigration and maritime history, Cobh is a shared experience waiting to happen. As families increasingly seek meaningful ways to connect across age groups, this forward-thinking town offers the perfect setting — combining rich history, stunning scenery, and activities that speak to young explorers and seasoned holiday makers alike. With direct rail, bus, and road links to Cork city and beyond, it's as easy to reach as it is to fall in love with. Whether you're a grandparent interested in tales of the Titanic, a parent seeking quality time exploring the outdoors and museums, or a family looking to create fun memories, Cobh is a destination where generations can connect. Visitors can step into history at Titanic Experience Cobh, housed in the original White Star Line ticket office, overlooking the pier from where the final 123 passengers boarded tenders that ferried to bring them to the ill-fated ship. It's a powerful and immersive visit that captures the imagination of all ages. Alternatively tourists can visit Cobh Heritage Centre to explore Ireland's rich emigration story. The centre brings to life the poignant journeys of those who left Ireland through Cobh — once known as Queenstown — for new lives in America, Australia, Canada and beyond. Exhibits explore everything from the Titanic and Lusitania, Annie Moore to convict ships and Irish diaspora history with a pictorial quiz and colouring station to keep younger children busy. Then, set sail for Spike Island, a short ferry ride from Cobh and one of Europe's most captivating heritage sites. Part fortress, part prison, part wide open spaces — its story is delivered with energy and humour by expert guides and fun exhibits, making even the weightiest history accessible to young minds and engaging for adults. Back on dry land, tourists can take time to explore the picturesque town. Stroll to the Titanic Memorial Garden, stride up the hill to snap a multigenerational photo in front of the colourful houses of the Deck of Cards, and feel the sense of awe as you gaze up at and explore the lofty St. Colman's Cathedral. With cafés and restaurants offering hearty lunches and irresistible ice creams, there's something to satisfy every appetite. While Cobh makes a perfect day trip, it truly comes into its own when you stay a little longer. With welcoming accommodation options like The Commodore Hotel, Bella Vista Hotel, WatersEdge Hotel, and a host of self-catering stays and B&Bs there's no need to rush away. Gems like Fota Wildlife Park, Fota House and Gardens and Barryscourt Castle are always firm favourites with kids and grandparents alike. For outdoor enthusiasts, Marlogue woods will have you scanning the trees for Red Squirrels, Cuskinny offers a chance to paddle and swim, while the Titanic Trail and Cobh Rebel Walking Tours deliver engaging accessible explorations of the town's layered past. Cobh has great waterside walks, a stunning waterside park in the town centre, a superb playground, self-drive boats and RIB tours for an exhilarating trip around the harbour and beyond! For the older family members, the Midleton Distillery Experience is close by and has one of the highest rated whiskey and distillery tours in Ireland. You can swing into golf at Cobh Golf Club or Fota Island Resort or learn the ropes together on a family sail course. On days when cruise liners dock in Cobh a carnival buzz takes over: locals in period costume, live music and a general sense of celebration will only enhance a visit to Cobh. Cobh's magic lies not just in its attractions, but in its atmosphere — a town with a big heart and a strong sense of community, where families can reconnect, slow down and savour time together.

Dublin dominates as top winter break location as seasonal spending rises substantially
More than half of all Irish city trips in the winter months were to Dublin, new figures from Fáilte Ireland show, with the capital accounting for 52% of city breaks between November and February. Publishing its Consumer Winter Report 2025 this week, Fáilte Ireland found that increased popularity of Dublin saw marginally less demand for breaks across some other Irish cities. Galway comprised 20% of winter trips, down from 23% in the same time last year, while Kilkenny made up 9% of winter breaks, down from 11%. Waterford remained unchanged, with 12% of city breaks taking place in the south-east city. Meanwhile, 17% of the city trips last winter were to Cork, up from 15% in the same season last year, with Limerick comprising 10%, up marginally compared to the same period 12 months ago. While there has been little change in the share of travel, the number of domestic trips across the country has risen significantly in the past three years, Fáilte Ireland found, helped by St Brigid's Day which became a bank holiday in 2023. The tourism agency also found that year-on-year card spending throughout the winter months and into March saw substantial increases, outpacing inflation during the same period. The spending figures indicate that consumers have enjoyed increased disposable income, likely contributing positively to Ireland's tourism sector throughout the winter months. Latest CSO data indicates that holiday spend for 2024 is up 12% annually, Fáilte Ireland said, with it likely that this continued into early 2025, as indicated by the Central Bank of Ireland. However, the agency said it is important to note that the increase in spending is not necessarily evenly distributed, with affordability pressures such as housing costs and inflation limiting the spending of younger and lower-income groups. While the proportion of people taking domestic breaks has remained relatively unchanged, the number of trips have increased, with this suggesting an increase in the frequency of taking trips amongst those already taking breaks. With spending up and household financial situation improving, Fáilte Ireland said it augers well for the sector this summer. However, it said sentiment is still somewhat tentative, with value for money remaining a key consideration for consumers. "The cost-of-living situation demands for more financially palatable holiday experiences in Ireland," Fáilte Ireland said. "Identifying what will make holidays less of a financial burden for key segments is key to ensuring travel plans are kept."

Exhibition explores 100 years of the Irish passport
A new exhibition has opened at the Irish Emigration Museum to mark the centenary of the Irish passport. The exhibition, called 'On the Move', tells the stories of the country's "most travelled document". EPIC historian Dr Catherine Healy said the establishment of the passport was an important moment for Irish sovereignty, "showing a commitment to engage with the world as an independent nation". Dr Healy said that the museum wanted to ask questions such as "what does the passport tell us about Ireland's relationship with the wider world," and it also wanted to explore its role in the lives of people who have used it. EPIC asked the public for any stories they had about their family's passports and many of those stories are on display in the exhibition. "We know what the passport means to Irish people at home and abroad," Dr Healy said. "We wanted to feature tales of migration, the diasporic connection and also capture some of the human stories too," she added. Liz Cassidy responded to the request and explained that her grandparents used their Free State passports to go on their honeymoon in Algiers in the 1920s. Her grandfather, Thomas Healy, born in 1895 and died in 1957, was issued with a document which identifies it as a passport from Saorstát Éireann. "It was a proud day when he received it because he had fought for freedom from British rule, with the Irish volunteers during the War of Independence," Ms Cassidy said. "My grandfather was one of Michael Collins' trusted intelligence officers in west Cork," she said. Thomas Healy retired from the army in early 1923 and returned to his family law practice in Skibereen. "His passport tells the story that has filled the gaps in our family history," Ms Cassidy said. He renewed his passport in 1926, and under the "observations" section, a note indicates his intentions for "travelling to Algiers". He and his new wife, her grandmother Helen Grennan, born in 1897 and died in 1973, were planning their "exotic honeymoon in north Africa". Also featured in the exhibition is former Leitrim hurler Zak Moradi. He received his first Irish passport at the age of 30. His family came to Ireland as political programme refugees in 2002. "I am from Kurdistan and was born in a refugee camp in Iraq," Mr Moradi said. "I got into hurling in 6th class, and though hurling is a kind of difficult game to play, I liked the challenge," he said. Mr Moradi went on to describe the process of obtaining an Irish passport and said "it took a bit of time to apply to become an Irish citizen, because I didn't have a birth cert". It is not an easy process, he added, but "when you get it, it's worth it". Mr Moradi said that the passport gives him "an identity and tells where I belong". "I'm still learning that I can travel and learn all these new things because of it," he said. "I never thought when I was in the refugee camp that this would happen for me, but within 20 years, your life can change completely," Mr Moradi added. The exhibition runs for the summer at EPIC.
