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.

Stay ready: nine ways to wear between-season fashion styles
My relationship with the inconstant Irish weather is toxic. Seduced by its unpredictability, I scorn its bad behaviour only to strip off the moment it shows me any positive attention. This summer I swore things would be different. I broke up with my skimpy warm weather wannabees and made peace with liminal layers that will see me well into early autumn. Take Cortefiel's cropped trench coat (available at Shaw's) — a masterclass in lightweight outerwear that respects 'a grand soft day' and a perimenopausal flush. Wear with ecru denim and sandals with a By Malene Birger 'Zoria' leather belt to create subtle structure without sacrificing comfort. Although linen remains a go-to, look to warmer wool blends, like that offered by Donegal brand Magee 1866, for extra wear time. Their 'Sara' dress makes end-of-summer work tailoring a breeze— breathable enough for warm days, yet adaptable for cooler evenings. Ditto for Massimo Dutti's striped open-neck blouse with its kimono silhouette. Keen on a capsule? Meet your sister. I like to divide and conquer with a co-ord like Whistles' striped waistcoat and trousers - ideal layering partners now and when the mercury dips. As for arm candy, suede totes and straw basket bags may continue to dominate our social media feeds, but I like to think ahead with a carry-all for my squirrel-like tendencies. Massimo Dutti's Nappa leather beauties do nicely. Likewise, their leather peep-toe heels are discreet enough not to warrant a pedicure as are the 'Helia' low-cut pumps by Aeyde. Plus, it's easier for me to walk away from the notion of an August heatwave. I better get those steps in.

Thousands enjoy opening day of 150th Dublin Horse Show, including royal visitor Princess Anne
The five-day show is expected to attract more than 110,000 visitors from home and abroad. Britain's Princess Anne made an appearance yesterday following a visit to President Michael D Higgins at Áras an Uachtaráin. There was a laid-back yet lively feel at the RDS, with many attendees dressed in typical attire, while others opted for their finest glad rags. To most people the horse show may not be the most obvious setting for a second date, but Benjamin Moss (21) and Rose Grimes (20) thought otherwise. 'She's enjoying it more than I am,' said Benjamin, who is from east Africa and now lives in London. It was his first time at the show. 'I've just been dragged here by her. I'm not really into show jumping, but it's interesting to see,' he said. Rose, from Westmeath, has been attending the horse show since she was small and thought it was a fitting occasion for their second date. 'I've been coming here since I was three or four. It's just a nice atmosphere and I meet lots of my friends and people I know,' she said. The 150th staging of the horse show is being marked by an exhibition that features historical photos and details from past events. The display is in the RDS Concert Hall and runs from until Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT Freya Dempsey (18) missed out on qualifying for this year's show, but said the occasion was a 'family affair' that she could not miss. 'I started horse riding when I was three or four,' she said. 'It was my birthday last week. I used to get the season tickets for my birthday ever since I was little. My granny used to take me in.' Despite not qualifying , Freya showed up in the hopes she can pick up a trick or two. ' I'm holding my breath. I feel sick watching them, so I think if I had qualified I probably would have fallen off on the first round,' she said. 'It's good to come and see the classes that I tried to qualify for. For the last two years I've tried for the Connies and then the Working Hunter Pony categories.' Freya said there is more to the horse show than just competing. She enjoys seeing the 1,600 horses and ponies that will compete in 168 classes and competitions. 'I love watching all the Irish horses. I think that's probably the best part of it. And then the little ponies, too. It's just good fun,' she said. Tomorrow will be busy, as Friday is always the most popular day of the horse show when crowds gather to watch the Nations' Cup of Ireland, in which teams compete for the Aga Khan Challenge Trophy. First awarded in 1926, it has been won outright five times – a team winning it three times in succession gets to keep it. The current trophy was presented by the Aga Khan in 1980 after Ireland's outright win in 1979. Rose Kelbie, from Scotland, said she hasn't missed the event for the last 15 years. 'The Dublin Horse Show is unique. It's all about the people, the horses, the atmosphere,' she said. The best-dressed competition will take place today, with a €10,000 cash prize sponsored by Poretti. Participants must register online and have their photo taken at the event check-in to enter.

Tom Dunne: CMAT, Fontaines, and Kneecap to the fore in a golden age for Irish music
I hate to throw phrases like 'A Golden Age of Irish Music' around but, as politicians like to say, it is what it is. Homework was cancelled when Thin Lizzy had a hit with Whiskey in the Jar. By that metric the current success of Irish bands should warrant about a month off school. To put it in perspective, imagine if Glastonbury was taking place next year (it isn't, it's a rest year). No eyelid would bat if CMAT did the Pyramid Stage on Friday and Fontaines DC did the same Saturday. Hozier could play too. In Irish music history that is unprecedented. And before you split hairs with me CMAT played to a bigger more appreciative audience this year at Glastonbury than the later headliners The 1975 did. And that's before she releases her new album Euro-Country. Behold our new masters: CMAT I was at All Together Now the day after CMAT played. She was all anyone was talking about. People said she's been a bit emotional on stage, overwhelmed by the audience response. However emotional she may have been she wasn't as teary as the people telling me this. They adored her. Part of CMAT's appeal is her charm and relatability. She is down-to-earth and hilarious. She tells people she slept for 13 hours' after Glastonbury, the 'best sleep since November.' She also informs us that she writes albums quickly because, 'This might go away tomorrow.' She is genius songwriter with a gift for the killer line. I Wanna Be a Cowboy Baby, Stay for Something, Take a Sexy Picture of Me and The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station are equal parts heartbreak, wry observation and tragicomedy. It is a CMAT universe of KFC chicken wings and heartbreak. She has been on the receiving end of trolling over her physical appearance since the BBC Big Weekend of 2024. No surprise there, the internet is a cesspit, but she is forgiving even of that explaining that those who speak badly of her may not be having a great time of it themselves. It is this that I think is the key to her relatability. She is more at the Jarvis Cocker end of the celebrity spectrum than the diva end, and thank God for that. If you can't look at someone on stage and imagine, just briefly 'that could be me' then what's the point? She is all of that and yet has the self-possession on stage of a superstar. The CMAT FOR PRESIDENT movement starts today. Carlos O'Connell, Tom Coll, Conor Deegan III and Grian Chatten of Fontaines DC. (Photo by Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty) Fontaines DC 'The biggest Irish group since U2' is the phrase being bandied about. I think that's unfair to the Cranberries, but I can see where they are going. Quite simply since their debut album Dogrel in 2019 they have not put a foot wrong. They are incendiary live with a reputation that has proceeded them around the world. Key to that in Grian Chatten. He has a voice that at first seems incongruous, but which utterly defines their uniqueness. The minute you hear it on radio you think 'Fontaines DC'. Like CMAT, the flow of material is eye-watering. Despite an incredibly demanding touring schedule, they also produce new material as if also working to a 'this might go away tomorrow' mantra. Go on their website to see the sheer extent of their worldwide appeal – its Sweden today, Helsinki the 10th, Manchester the 15th and on and on. Kneecap onstage at Glastonbury. (Photo by Oli SCARFF / AFP) Kneecap I had thought of Hozier for the third slot as his various successes – sell out USA arenas, UK and US number ones, 1.6 billion Spotify plays for Too Sweet, and 3.1 billion for Take me to Church – obviously warrant it, but I had to go for Kneecap. Their success is just too hilarious to ignore. I don't think the British establishment has been this convulsed, this driven to new extremes of self-righteous indignation since the Sex Pistols released God Save The Queen. It's heart-warming to see. A group rapping in Irish. A man in a balaclava. An audience singing 'Get your Brits out.' How have I lived to see such wonders? Am I dreaming? There are more I could add here, Inhaler for a start, but let's leave it there and prepare our minds for the Boucher Road Playing Fields, Belfast, August 29. Fontaines DC and Kneecap in a town where on July 12 I saw both Union Jacks and Israeli flags flying side by side. It's going to be interesting.
