THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
"Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
"Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas."
The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
"Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England."
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

Clarkson's Farm star shares major health update as series ends on emotional note

Fans who have tuned into the latest series of Clarkson's Farm will be familiar with Alan Townsend. The handyman has helped Jeremy Clarkson find his new pub. He was tasked with working alongside the former Top Gear host to transform the watering hole into the Farmer's Dog and have it ready for the August Bank Holiday. However, during the finale, Alan revealed he was facing a heart operation. At the end of episode eight, Alan confided in Clarkson, his Irish partner Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland, Gerald Cooper, Kaleb Cooper, and Annie Gray. The team gathered around a table following a chaotic day, where they managed to meet a tight deadline, and Alan opened up about his health operation. "Yeah, we're in next Tuesday at the hospital. Quadruple bypass coming," the builder said. "And they've got to test for stroke likelihood as well," Jeremy said, to which Alan added, "Yeah, because I had that stroke." Speaking about fellow star Gerald overcoming prostate cancer, Jeremy remarked, "You know, last year. It was him [Gerald], wasn't it? You'd gotten yourself better. So we're ending this year, with our fingers crossed." Keeping a positive attitude, Alan said, "Yeah, well, it should... It's pretty routine these days, isn't it?" Alan then added, "Oh, frightened to death. I don't even like thinking about it. "That's why I keep going to work, keep out of the way. They told me to really just take it easy and stay at home. But if you stay, you'll be worrying to death about it." Jeremy lightened the mood and raised a glass, saying: "We couldn't have gotten the pub open without you. We'll name a wing after you. I'm not saying if it goes wrong, we'll name a wing after you, we'll name a wing after you anyway. The Alan Townsend Wing." Gerald then got everyone laughing and said: "I've got a foot pump, I'll bring him around, don't you worry... If he starts deflating, I'll pump him back up." Clarkson's Farm series four can be streamed on Prime Video now.

School's Out for summer with new short animations from RTÉ Kids

Launching on Monday, 9 June 2025 across RTÉjr, RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player, Sparks – School's Out is a magnificent collection of seven short original Irish animations, each offering a unique take on the end of the school term. From robot classrooms and shifting seasons to the quiet loneliness of a school caretaker after the final bell, these bite sized stories capture the joy, curiosity, and unexpected emotions that come with the start of summer. There's so much colour, emotion and memories made as kids head off for the summer we decided School's Out would be the perfect theme for the first series of short animations in our new Sparks scheme. The original Irish animations from new directors can be seen across RTÉjr, RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player from Monday. Read all about them below... Molly's Myths from Boulder Media - Directed by Gillian Comerford School's adventure is in! We follow Molly and her four-legged-bestie Penny's journey to a magical realm bursting with colour and enchantment. There, they reunite with some familiar friends from Irish folklore - the heroic Cú Chulainn, duelling giants, mischievous mini muiseogs and a haunting banshee - for an unforgettable adventure of friendship, freedom and mythical magic! Released as Boulder celebrates its 25th anniversary, the film is a joyful tribute to storytelling and a fitting milestone for the studio with a score by Eímear Noone and Craig Stuart Garfinkle. Monday at 6.35pm on RTÉjr Droid Academy from Pioneertown - Directed by Will Sliney Renowned Marvel comic book artist Will Sliney makes his directorial debut with Droid Academy, a striking 3D CGI animated short created in Blender for RTÉ as part of the Sparks short film initiative. The film premiered at the Animation Dingle Festival, drawing praise for its powerful message and visual innovation for the Pioneertown Productions' short. A playful robot struggles to fit into her rigid school environment. Unable to connect with her classmates, our hero is forced to break with routine and start to explore outside the rules of her school. By finally going outdoors for the first time she discovers the beauty of nature. She then brings those new connections back into the school hoping to make it a brighter place for all. Monday at 7.20am on RTÉjr/ 2.24pm on RTÉ2 Little One from Little Moon Animations - Directed by Avery Angle In this heartwarming short, we follow the daily walks home from school through a forest between a fox father and his young daughter cub and explore the little rituals of play and kindness that follow. Set against the backdrop of four seasons in one short year, we see them play games with leaves, protect themselves with conkers, distract themselves through snow and finally acknowledge their growth in Spring. In each of these scenes, they make and collect trinkets to display at home, gathering memories of their time together from the day. Monday at 11am on RTÉjr The Caretaker from Whackala As the children leave for the summer holidays, the school caretaker enjoys the peace and quiet while doing his chores, but as the days pass, the emptiness and silence of the school building make him tired and lonely. Someone notices, 10-year old Eva. Suddenly, on a grey and rainy day, small gifts appear and bring a smile to the Caretaker's weary face. Who could be behind them? Monday at 4.30pm on RTÉjr No Worries! from D11 Stories - Directed by Chris Dicker Meet 10-year-old PJ Gallagher's anxieties aren't just in his head, they manifest into a 300-pound Silverback Gorilla, only he can see. When it's time to return to school after the Summer holidays, Gorilla Joe gives PJ a list of worries. What if his friends don't like him and what if he can't remember how to write or read? With the help of his mother, can PJ find a way to live with his anxiety, get rid of the stinky smell in his school bag and know that he's got this! Monday at 2.50pm on RTÉjr Pals from Taunt - Directed by Tom Getty Facing his last summer in the countryside before starting big school, Shane meets older kid Stevie.

Monday at 2.26pm on RTÉ2 Points of Shoe from Flickerpix - Directed by Jamie Mills Step into the holidays with a colourful cast of shoes as they explore what makes holiday time special. Told from the shoes' unique point of view, this short animation answers what teachers do when we are not around to what it's like to live the high life in a mansion. From beach trips to the playground, every pair has a story to tell! Brace yourself for a shoe-per time. Monday at 10.30am on RTÉ/ 1.30pm on RTÉjr
