THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl's first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.

Best Dressed Lady crowned on Ladies Day at Galway Races

The highlights of day four at the Galway Races were Ladies Day and the Galway Hurdle. It was one of the busiest and most popular days at the festival and there was intense competition both on and off the track. The winner of the Best Dressed Lady this year was 28-year-old Megan Cunniss from Bohermore, Co Galway. The Best Hat was won by Breda Butler from Thurles in Tipperary. Ms Cunniss wore a vintage black and white 1950's era dress which was made in France and tailored in Galway. She is a medical secretary in University Hospital Galway and is married with one daughter. Elizabeth Egan and Eva Hayes-Morrissey, from Cork and have been coming to the Galway Races for over 25 years. Elizabeth sums up the appeal in one sentence: "It's the people, the style ands the craic". Eva agrees, saying: "It's a family tradition and we just wouldn't miss it. It's the atmosphere, the top class racing and of course the fashion. "It's also the nights out, the hangovers, the getting ready! It's all part and parcel of the buzz of Galway. "There's no other track like it in Ireland and I go racing a lot" Eva agreed, saying: "It's a family tradition and we just wouldn't miss it. It's the atmosphere, the top class racing and of course the fashion. "It's also the nights out, the hangovers, the getting ready! It's all part and parcel of the buzz of Galway. "There's no other track like it in Ireland and I go racing a lot". Faith Amond and Catherine Byrne, from Carlow, are regular racegoers and attend the festival every day. "We love everything about it, the racing and the social side and of course the fashion. We've been coming for decades and it's an annual pilgrimage not to be missed". Lauren Tinkler pulled a high street fashion dress together with a designer hat in varying shades of green. "Yeah I love green and just felt it was a nod to our traditional Irish colour." She threw back her head and laughed at the notion that she might wear it again on St Patrick's Day. "Why not! But I might be a bit overdressed for the pub!" This year's guest judge is Lisa McGowan. She won the best dressed title in 2016 and went on to build her own fashion and cosmetics brands. "Oh it's amazing to be here as a judge nine years on. I was so shocked when my name was called out in 2016. Today is a full circle moment for me. Galway kickstarted my career," she said. The Tullamore woman summed up what makes a winning outfit in her eyes. "Style and elegance are key, but often it's the "something extra" that catches the eye of the judges. "I think the minute you walk into a group of ladies the winner is going to stand out. There's no particular look but she's going to carry herself beautifully. She will be immaculately dressed. "We usually know a winner straight away," she said, and whispered: "I had the winner picked within five minutes of getting here!" Ballybrit is a dazzling extravaganza of frock and feathers, frills and fascinators. But as well as high end fashion, many people, like Ruby O'Reilly Duff, from Milford in Co Donegal, had rummaged through oddments at home to create a unique, recycled look. "I made this hat myself and it cost me nothing! I used old rosettes I won as a child and recycled some old netting to create this look. I love the Galway Races and am marking this day with my own special look." The Galway Races are one of the biggest sporting and social events in the west of Ireland. An estimated 130,000 people are expected to attend this week - on a par with the festival last year. Chief Executive of Galway Racecourse Michael Maloney said the races are worth over €60 million to the local economy. "This festival generates a lot of income for hotels and guesthouses, taxi drivers, hairdressers, boutiques and so forth. "Here in Ballybrit there are up to 1,600 staff employed across a wide range of areas with a huge number of young people working in hospitality this week." There are 800 horses in 53 races with prize money in excess of €2m. Last year, the story of a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes in a bin at Ballybrit went viral. The designer heels were the centre of another mini drama today when Louisa Murphy, from Tramore in Co Waterford, got one of her stilettos stuck in a drain. "Oh I can't believe this is happening. I was too busy looking around and not paying attention to where I was going when I stepped in the grid. "They cost me over €600 to buy and I spent another €200 custom dyeing them orange to match my dress. So they really are one of a kind." Louisa put her face in her hands and groaned: "Now my boyfriend knows what I spend on designer shoes". As she pulled and prodded at the shoe - to no avail - a group of curious onlookers gathered round and told her to have patience and find a plumber! "This is a new shoe. I need a farrier urgently," she cried. Eventually, a maintenance worker rescued the shoe and the damsel in distress slipped her bare feet into her Manolo Blahnik, never to be taken off again.

All the Middle of Lidl plants landing TODAY including £4 herb to repel creepy crawlies – as spider season arrives early

LIDL has its greenfingered customers covered with a new range of beautiful blooms for as little as £4. One of those plants is a herb that helps to keep spiders at bay during creepy crawly season. Advertisement 3 Spiders have started settling in homes earlier this year Credit: Getty Whilst it's important to add that our Usually spiders start appearing in our homes at the end of August and start of September. The insects start seeking out warm and dry spaces to shelter through the autumn months. However, homeowners across the UK have started to notice their leggy room mates have been arriving ahead of schedule this year. Advertisement read more on lidl This is bad news for On Reddit, one wrote: "It's normally September before my house gets invaded but I've already had to evict two of them (or maybe the same spider twice). As an arachnophobe this is not good." To keep your house from becoming overrun with spiders, lavender is a natural and cruelty-free way to deter them. Pots of the scent-packed purple flowers are now in the Middle of Lidl for just £3.99. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Lavender contains linalool and linalyl acetate, aromatic compounds that many insects—including spiders—find unpleasant or overwhelming. Spiders navigate largely by touch and smell, and strong, pungent odors can interfere with their ability to sense prey or find shelter. Lavender is also considered a high-nectar-yielding plant, which is especially useful to bees during mid-to-late summer when other nectar sources may be scarce. Lavender reflects light in a spectrum that bees see very clearly. Advertisement Bees don't see red well, but they do see blue, violet, and UV light—lavender fits right into their visible range, making it visually attractive. As well as lavender, Lidl is also flogging Calla Lilies, Clematis and Roselilies. Super spiders: nature's pest control Despite their creepy-crawly reputation, spiders are some of the most important and fascinating creatures on the planet . They play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance—acting as natural pest controllers in both gardens and homes. A single spider can consume hundreds, even thousands, of insects in its lifetime, including mosquitoes, flies, aphids, and even agricultural pests that threaten crops. Without spiders quietly doing this work, ecosystems—and our food supply—would be far more vulnerable to infestations. The Calla Lilies, known for their trademark trumpet flower are just £4.99 and guaranteed to brighten up any home. If you're looking to add a splash of colour to your garden, you can pick up a clematis flower, also for just £4.99. Advertisement Orchids are the perfect gift, especially dyed ones and in Lidl they are just £9.99. There are plenty of other huge bargains waiting for you at the bargain retailer - including a Silvercrest cordless vacuum for £69.99. Lidl is also selling the award-winning Gtech AirRam MK2 Cordless Vacuum. The hoover would usually set you back up to £280 but it can be snapped up this week for £149. Advertisement The supermarket is also selling the Silvercrest Garment Steamer in black or white. Customers can save by downloading the Lidl Plus app. It is free to use and can also unlock other offers including £50 off a Park Dean holiday. Lidl said the up to £50 discount applies to all Lidl Plus customers, so if you've got the loyalty app on your phone, you should give it a check. Advertisement Click on the "More" tab, then "Partner Offers" and scroll down to find the deal. Once you've redeemed the offer you'll be given a code that needs to be inputted into the Parkdean website. How can I save money when shopping at Lidl? Lidl reduces items at the start of the day and the best deals can be found between 7am to 8am, when most stores open. Shoppers can often find cooked meats, salmon fillets and breads reduced by 30% or more. Advertisement Not only does Lidl have its own range of reasonably priced alcohol, it also has its own knock-offs of branded favourites – so say cheers to its bargain booze. Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl" – it's here where you'll find a load of random stuff that you didn't realise you needed, at decent prices. 3 Lavender is a great spider deterrent Credit: Lidl 3 Brighten up your home with Lidl's new range of bargain plants Credit: Lidl Advertisement
