Taco Bell announce first Irish restaurant in brilliant fashion
Taco Bell have announced that they're coming to Ireland — and have announced doing so in perfect fashion. The American fast food chain have announced that they'll be bringing their cuisine to our shores as part of the new Applegreen service station on the M3 motorway. The new service station will be situated on Exit 6 of the M3 motorway in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath, and will create over 100 new jobs in the facility. The station will include an M&S Food shop-in outlet, a Burger King, a Crafted — their new deli — and a convenience store, as well as a forecourt and an initial eight ultra-fast EV charging ports. More of the charging ports will come when the area gets more power. @tacobell_uki @Garron Noone ♬ There She Goes – CYRIL & MOONLGHT & The La's Announcing the new restaurant, the chain stitched a brilliant video from Mayo's Garron Noone, who previously said that he wanted a quesadilla from the chain; although he gave his own pronunciation for the Mexican staple. 'I'm just a simple Irish man, I've never had a kweezadilla before,' Garron said in the video; before Taco Bell stitched the video to announce the new location — with a comment inviting Garron to try a kweezadilla. While people were delighted that the chain was coming to Ireland, the location proved baffling to some, with one commenting 'Dunshaughlin of all places.' Taco Bell have announced that they're coming to Ireland — and have announced doing so in perfect fashion, bringing in Garron Noone. Pic: Supplied 'Not Cork, not Dublin but Meath,' another commented, while another added 'Dunshaughlin is the most random place.' Another was delighted, however, commenting 'I've never been so happy to live 20 mins away from Dunshaughlin.' Applegreen are investing around €15million for the new service station, with them set to invest over €1billion to expand its business in Ireland, the UK and US over the next five years. Those who were disheartened to hear that the first Taco Bell will be in Meath needn't fret, however, as Applegreen plan to expand Taco Bell to its Irish locations over the next five years (no Baja Blast is on the menu though, unfortunately.) The iconic chain of Mexican fast food is coming to Applegreen, as it opens the doors to its latest service station next month. Pic: Supplied 'The new Dunshaughlin service area will also see the launch our new Crafted Kitchen & Deli – offering good, honest Irish food, crafted just for you,' Seamus Stapleton, Managing Director for Applegreen's Republic of Ireland, said. 'Crafted will bring a range of new products and will also continue to offer customers deli favourites, such as chicken fillet rolls and breakfast rolls.' Matthew Johnson, New Market Lead for Taco Bell Europe, welcomed the move, saying that the merger will bring the chain's iconic menu and unique dining experience to the country and will allow Taco Bell to continue to grow as a global brand. 'The partnership will Applegreen will enhance Taco Bell's presence in Europe, solidifying our regional footprint but also propelling our global growth ambitions,' he added. Taco Bell in Ireland will open its doors in Applegreen Dunshaughlin in September.

Next's 'lovely' Midi Dress hailed as 'perfect for summer' by delighted shoppers
Next customers are going wild for a "gorgeous" dress that's become an essential addition to summer holiday wardrobes. The Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is flying off the shelves at the high street fashion behemoth, garnering five-star reviews for both its comfort and "stylish" design. With a price tag ranging from €74 to €79.50, the dress is available in three shades: white floral, yellow, and teal. Crafted from a breezy cotton-viscose mix with a billowing maxi skirt, it promises to keep wearers cool with flair. The shirred dress cinches at the waist for a flattering silhouette, while the puff sleeves give it a voluminous touch that can be glammed up or toned down. For those looking for a similar vibe from other high street shops, New Look's latest hit is the Brown Checked Puff Sleeve Seersucker Midi Dress, retailing at £35.99 (€41.60) and boasting comparable puff sleeve and shirred bodice features. Next shoppers praised the dress as 'perfect for summer days' (Image: Next) Meanwhile, M&S has introduced the Pure Cotton Square Neck Midaxi Dress for €75, a black number perfect for transitioning into autumn with any jacket or coat. Back to Next, where the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is being praised as "very flattering" and "super comfortable" ideal for summer getaways and more. The retailer suggests styling it with sandals and a raffia bag for a "dreamy" ensemble perfect for basking in holiday sunshine, reports Chronicle Live. One delighted shopper gushed about the dress: "Lovely dress, stylish and perfect for summer days and evenings out. I was so pleased with this purchase I have bought every colour available and I have even bought two for next year I love them so much. Would definitely recommend." Echoing the sentiment, another reviewer chimed in: "Have worn my dress twice so far and have had nothing but praise from people who comment that it's absolutely beautiful and I have to agree. It's also very cool and comfortable to wear so definitely recommend it." The dress also comes in 'beautiful' bright yellow or teal for an eye-catching look (Image: Next) A third happy customer, who chose the teal version, shared: "Beautiful dress that I've worn on many different occasions now. Was unsure at first of the neckline and sleeves, but bought a bra with no straps and it made all the difference. Love the colour!". Yet another satisfied buyer, who opted for the yellow version of the stylish dress, enthused: "Beautiful colour, the quality is excellent and the material just flows, the fit is comfortable. You can dress it up or relax in it. Very versatile. I would recommend this dress." Despite the Puff Sleeve Midi Dress scoring an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of five stars from purchasers, not all feedback was glowing. A disgruntled customer remarked: "Quality was not great for the price and the sleeves were ill-fitting and loose." A handful of other shoppers expressed their desire for additional sizing choices, with one reviewer sharing: "Beautiful dress and looks like lovely on, my only criticism would be it is too long and would have been good to offer it in a petite size as not everyone is over 5ft 6ins."
