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.

An absolute joy: Timmy Mallet completes cycle around Ireland
TV host Timmy Mallet has praised the "profoundly gorgeous" kindness of people after completing a cycle around the coastline of the island of Ireland. While on the 6,000km cycle of roads, paths and greenways, he discovered a family link to Blacksod Lighthouse in Co Mayo that has deeply affected him. The colourful personality is known for his children's television series in the 80s and 90s and cover of Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. He embarked on a cycle circumnavigation around Great Britain in 2023 to raise awareness of people's potential after the death of his brother Martin, who had Down's Syndrome and died in 2018. He began a cycle along Northern Ireland's and Donegal's coast in March last year, before returning to cycle around the whole island. "This is the completion of my cycle circumnavigation of the island of Ireland," he said at Stormont on Monday. "I kicked off in lashing rain in March last year when I aimed to see if I could do a cycle circumnavigation of Northern Ireland." He said he then decided he would add the "forgotten county" of Donegal. "Further north than Northern Ireland, but in the south. I love that nuttiness," he said. "Five hundred and fifty miles after completing Donegal, I thought to myself I'd like to come back and see if I could do the Wild Atlantic Way." He said he put aside two months to do as much of the Wild Atlantic Way as possible and got as far as Kinsale in Co Cork. "I phoned up Mrs Mallet and she said 'I'm having the bathroom done, so just keep going, I'm not ready to have you home yet, Mallet'." He said it was "an absolute joy" to complete the circumnavigation of the island. He added: "There's something about the kindness and generosity on this island that is really lovely. It's profoundly gorgeous, this welcome that comes across the whole of Ireland. "I am thrilled to say I have got a squillion new friends in Ireland and I love it. It's almost in the DNA of the Irish actually to say 'welcome, come on in, we're your friends'." He said Ireland had "an understanding of differences" and celebrated things that bring people together. He added: "I'm inspired on this journey by my brother Martin (who had) language and learning difficulties. He never let Down's Syndrome define him. He'd say 'You and me, I'm happy.' "That's about being in the moment, celebrating the here and now of living. It reminds me that all we have to do in life is reach our potential. We don't have to be the best in the world, just the best that we can be." He recounted highlights of the trip, including a family connection at a Mayo lighthouse and a person who helped during the filming of his show Wacaday 35 years ago. "I went to Blacksod Lighthouse in Co Mayo which has got a family connection for me that I didn't know," he said. "The weather forecast for D-Day was supplied by Maureen Sweeney in June 1944 and my mum was working at supreme headquarters, at the time, on the weather forecasting for D-Day. "And Maureen's grandson Fergus tells the story of how a squeaky-voiced English lady phoned up to check Maureen's reports. That was my mum. "This connection of two women, in a cataclysmic world event, doing their bit for freedom has had a profound impact on me. "I also loved the journey down further south, in Dingle, where I meet Jimmy Flannery who had taken me, 35 years ago during the Wacaday filming, to meet and swim with Fungi the dolphin. "And here he is there still and we shared happy memories of that day of filming 35 years ago in 1990. "On the border between North and the Republic, I came across that lovely conundrum, if you like, where somebody's house is in the UK but their garden is in the Republic. "They were living with it all day every day and enjoying the best of both sides of that wee border." Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly met with Mallet at Stormont on Monday.

‘They've tried to ruin our lives' says Brian Dowling as he breaks silence after long battle with troll website
BRIAN Dowling has broken his silence after a "long battle" with a trolling forum. Last week on Friday, June 13, the owner of the Irish gossip website Tattle Life was revealed as Sebastian Bond. 2 Brian has spoken about the 'long battle' himself and his husband has had with Tattle Life Credit: Instagram 2 Neil Sands and his wife Donna wo n their defamation lawsuit against Tattle Life last week Credit: Instagram/@donnasands_ The online forum hosted threads of mainly anonymous people commenting on influencers, celebrities and general members of the public and it attracted up to 12 million visitors per month. The owner was named publicly after an Irish tech entrepreneur Neil Sands and his wife Donna took legal action against the gossip site. The couple won their defamation and harassment lawsuit over abusive comments posted on the site and were awarded £300,000 in libel damages at the Belfast High Court last week. The owner, Sebastian, was also found to have had an alias Bastian Durward, which is known on the internet as a vegan cooking influencer and author of the book 'Nest and Glow'. read more on brian dowling The Nest and Glow Instagram account had amassed 135k followers, but hasn't shared a grid post since 2020. Many celebrities and influencers have been overjoyed by the news after years of being bullied relentlessly on the website. He said: "Also on Friday, my birthday, I got messages saying that the person that runs the website Tattle has been exposed and his true identity is now out there. read more on the irish sun "I am absolutely delighted. This is something, a battle, Arthur and I have been having with this website for a long time now. "They have tried to destroy our reputation, ruin our lives in fact with the vile-ness they have been saying. Brian Dowling gets bizarre facial "We have all the messages, we've spoken to the guards, we have screenshots, we have usernames, we have everything." "And I get to find out who they are. I can't wait." The Virgin Media host and his hubby have experienced an ''RABBIT HOLE' The famous pair have been heavily criticised for their parenting techniques and are predominantly targeted for their sexuality. Last year, just before the birth of their daughter Blu, Brian and Arthur endured a fierce level of trolling - to the extent that their address was leaked online. Brian told "You're not putting someone's address up just for the sake of it. And that was very, very dangerous because obviously at the time at home; Aoife was heavily pregnant with Blu, Blake was a baby, everyone knows I'm on radio and telly over there, so I'm not there. "And I just think that was when a line was crossed. Because it was our GDPR, it can't be broken." Brian admitted he went down a "rabbit hole" on the website where his address was leaked and he found the "worst of the worst" that people were accusing him of from "paedophilia to sexual abuse to alcohol". The 46-year-old added: "And you're like, 'Oh my God, these people are not like these people. It's not normal to do that. "At the end of the day, it's also not legal. It's also not illegal unless they're stalking, which there is. And it is a hate crime, but it's just trying to prove it. I think if you're in different countries, it's easy to get details."
