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.

Read more Zemeckis explained of the hard decision to axe him: "He's a magnificent actor, but his comedy sensibilities were very different from what I had written with Bob Gale. "And he and I were just never able to make that work." Director Zemeckis claimed Stoltz would insist on being called his character's name, Marty, rather than his own." Zemeckis claimed: "We almost always called him Marty. We thought it was silly, but we figured if it helped him do his job, it was harmless.

Plaque unveiled to renowned Dublin artist who died in motorbike crash
The late Jonathan Wade remembered at ceremony at his former home in Walkinstown Today at 07:53 A plaque has been unveiled commemorating the life of renowned Irish artist Jonathan Wade at his home in the Dublin suburb of Walkinstown. Specialising in painting industrial and urban landscapes, Jonathan has been described as one of Ireland's finest visual artists of the last century. He was born in Thomas Street in 1941, and his family moved to 2 Walkinstown Avenue in 1952. It was while living here in his teenage years that he developed his love of painting, and produced many of his earliest works. His first solo exhibition was held in Fergus O'Farrell studios in 1966, followed by the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1968. His largest and most important solo exhibition was held in the Project Arts Centre in Abbey Street in 1970, with 37 paintings on show. He had spent a considerable amount of time in Dublin's dockyards around this time, influencing his output and leading to the creation of a series of paintings depicting landscapes of rusted metal junk. Jonathan is represented today in the collections of The Hugh Lane Gallery and The Arts Council. His work was profoundly shaped by his left-wing political beliefs, and sought to portray a sense of overwhelming industrial catastrophe by painting images of decaying and rusted buildings and machinery. He tragically died in a motorcycle accident in January 1973, following a visit to see his mother, who lived in Walkinstown. Speaking at the plaque unveiling ceremony, local councillor Ray Cunningham said: 'I am honoured to be here on a day when such an influential figure in our cultural heritage is being recognised. 'As public representatives and communities, our focus has moved since Jonathan Wade's time, we are better at improving our cityscapes and protecting our environment. 'It is also important that we protect the heritage of the watcher, the man whose images of twisted metal and broken concrete wilderness marked out his reputation as one of the great visual artists of the last century. 'If there are to be doers, there must be see-ers. The eye of the artist is a treasure and a resource that our city should cherish and celebrate. That is what we have a valuable opportunity to do today.' The plaque was unveiled by the Dublin City Council Commemorations and Naming Committee, a group which facilitates the commemoration of people, events and organisations that have made a unique and significant contribution to Dublin.

‘Just throw yourself in there' – Former Love Islanders Catherine Agbaje and Toby Aromoloran give advice to newest Irish contestant
Fellow Dubliner Agbaje was a contestant on series 10 of Love Island in 2023 and also took part in this year's series of Love Island: All Stars. Aromoloran, whose mother Victoria is from Crossmolina in Co Mayo, was the runner-up on series seven of the show and also returned to the show on All Stars. Agbaje said she is sure Clarke, who is drawing comparisons to Maura Higgins, will get on well in the villa. "Dubliners are friendly. I feel like she'll get on with everyone and I'm just happy to see someone from Dublin in the Villa again. I feel like you need a Dublin person,' she said. 'The thing is – can English guys deal with Irish girls?' Aromolan asked. 'We're feisty,' Agbaje replied. She said there is an adjustment period that comes with heading into the Love Island world for the first time. "Being from Ireland and going into the villa, you don't know what to expect. It's a whole different culture out there, a whole different set of rules, but I feel like she'll be fine. Once you go in there, you're yourself, you make friends with the girls,' she said. "Irish girls are such girl's girls, so I feel she will be a girl's girl and be able to stand her foot.' Aromoloran said he found the pressure of life after Love Island easier to cope with as he exited the villa in a relationship with his fellow contestant Chloe Burrows. "I came out in a relationship, so we leaned on each other, which was a lot better than just coming out by yourself. I feel like the pressure of that is really hard, even though the pressure of the relationship is quite hard as well,' he said. "I quite enjoyed it, to be honest. I thought it was quite fun, something different and out of the ordinary, a different situation I've never been in. I leaned into it in a way, and found it funny half the time.' Both Agbaje and Aromoloran are yet to find love, but both said they would not do anything differently if they were heading back into the villa this year. Reflecting on what he learned from the experience, Aromoloran said: 'I've learned, from the first time ever, I didn't know anything about love. Now, I feel like I know so much. "I think I know a lot now. My advice would just be, throw yourself in there, try and not overthink anything. Just throw yourself into the process of finding love. Let yourself go.' Similar sentiments were echoed by Agbaje, who advised the contestants on the upcoming series of Love Island to 'let their guard down'. "I feel like that's important because as girls, we like to hold on to stuff and unintentionally bring it into new relationships,' she said. "You just need to let your guard down and sometimes, you might have an idea of what you want, but truly no one knows what love is. It's until you feel it, it's a feeling.'
