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.

Five cheesemaker-farmers from Munster celebrate Great Taste Awards
Munster cheesemaker-farmers are celebrating, after a string of top awards in the Great Taste 2025 championship. Five cheesemakers, from Tipperary to West Cork, were among the top echelon of 273 that secured three-star awards out of 14,340 Great Taste entries, from more than 3,611 companies across 110 countries. J&L Grubb • Three award-winning cheeses this year bring J & L Grubb Ltd/Cashel Blue to a growing tally of Great Taste awards. They have been have been hand-crafting the original Irish farmhouse blue cheese and other cheeses on their family farm near Fethard, Co Tipperary, for 40 years. 'A great endorsement, it seems Tipperary is on a roll', was their reaction, when they received three stars for both their Crozier Blue and Cashel Blue cheeses in the 2025 Great Taste Awards. That puts both in the top 1.9% of the products from around the world that go through a rigorous blind-judging by more than 500 industry experts, including chefs, food critics, technologists, retailers, and food writers. Jane and Louis Grubb of Cashel Blue Cheese in Co Tipperary receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Irish Food Writers Guild in March of this year. Picture: Paul Sherwood The judging process takes more than 110 days, at venues in England, Ireland, and Italy. Cashel Blue, created by Jane and Louis Grubb, comes from the cows on Beechmount Farm. It was also a three-star winner in 2024, and one of three one-star winners for the company in 2023, along with Signature Tastes Cashel Blue and Specially Selected Cashel Blue. This year, there was also a one-star Great Taste award for Deluxe Mature Cashel Blue. Crozier Blue cheese comes from the milk of Friesland ewes on the Co Wicklow farm of George and Hannah Finlay. Toons Bridge Dairy • Also 'over the moon' after this year's Great Taste Awards were Toby Simmonds and Jenny-Rose Clarke of the Toons Bridge Dairy at Kilbarry, Macroom, Co Cork. The Greek-style cheese that they recently started making in their dairy from the milk of their herd of water buffalo was awarded three stars. There was a two-star award for the cultured butter made from the cream left behind after making fior di latte (mozzarella made from cow's milk, rather than from buffalo milk). The butter contains all the cultures of traditional mozzarella-making. There was a one-star award for the loomi frying cheese made with cow's milk and vegetarian rennet at Toons Bridge Dairy, using milk purchased from local dairy farms. The Toons Bridge Dairy team said: 'Thank you so much to the wonderful team in our cheese room and the packers, order fillers, van drivers, invoice writers, patient neighbours, buffalo milkers, cows' milk suppliers, milk collectors, fence fixers, boiler repairers, well pump fixers, whey collectors, slurry tank emptiers, lime spreaders, hay savers, to mention just a few, and not forgetting the amazing buffaloes and cows that produce the beautiful milk it all begins with. It really does take a village!' Their other business, The Real Olive Company, importers and producers of authentic Mediterranean olives, oils, pastes, cheeses, meats, and fish, earned a two-star award this year for Garlic And Fresh Thyme Dressed Olives, and a one-star award for their 12-year balsamic vinegar. Macroom Buffalo Cheese • Also in the Macroom area, three stars were awarded to the Macroom Buffalo Ricotta from Macroom Buffalo Cheese Products, Kilnamartyra, a long-standing Irish high performer in the Great Taste Awards. Having imported 31 buffaloes from Northern Italy and started making buffalo cheese in 2009, the Lynch family opened a state-of-the-art production facility on their main farm 10 years ago, to produce the largest range of buffalo cheese and yoghurt in Ireland from the milk of their much-expanded herd of grass-fed buffalo. Their herd of over 750 buffalo is spread across 640 acres in the Macroom area. Durrus Cheese • There were three stars also for Durrus Óg, a cheese made by Durrus Cheese, near Bantry in West Cork. Jeffa Gill began making cheese on her farm in 1979 and, 46 years on, the Durrus Cheese range is still made by hand. Cooleeney Cheese • Cooleeney Cheese, Thurles, were also among the Great Taste 2025 winners, awarded two stars for Gleann Óir, and one star each for Darú and Signature Tastes Cooleeney Cheese. There are two stars also this year for the St Tola Karst product from Inagh Farmhouse Cheese, Ennistymon, Co Clare. Only 1,508 of the 14,340 Great Taste entries secured two-star status.

A MUM-OF-THREE has revealed the unusual product she swears by to get her menopausal skin glowing again. Lynne Cavanagh, 46, insists that beef tallow is "the holy grail in her house" thanks to its natural and nourishing qualities. 4 Mum-of-three Lynne Cavanagh revealed the skincare buy she swears by Credit: TikTok/@lynnelxx 4 Lynne says the beef tallow keeps her menopausal face glowing Credit: TikTok/@lynnelxx The £24.99 buy is so good that her children use it too to help with acne breakouts. Traditionally used in cooking, especially roast dinners, beef tallow is a solidified fat which surrounds the organs and internal tissues of a cow. But away from the kitchen, it can also be found in soaps, candles and skincare. Not only does the buy have anti-aging properties, it also helps with acne breakouts.

It also claims to boost collagen which, in turn, firms and hydrates your face. The natural skincare buy improves oily, combination, dry, and normal skin types. And Lynne, who has even used it to treat sunburn, is full of praise for the wonder product. In a recent TikTok post (@lynnelxx), she said: "Honestly, I can't rave enough about this. "It's a strange consistency. It feels a wee bit hard [but] it just breaks away. You literally need nothing because it goes into a sort of oily consistency. Maura Higgins reveals £6.99 dupe of £29.50 buy she swears by to keep greys away " And then I just rub it into my hands and rub it into my forehead and then a wee drop more for my neck. "It's really good for my skin. I am 46 but I don't think I look that bad." Lynne also shared incredible before and after pictures of daughter Sophie's skin when she used the beef tallow to help with a rash. The stunned mum says the results could be seen in just 10 hours, with Sophie's face looking almost healed in that short time. Speaking to Fabulous, she added: "My son used it and it cleared up his skin. He had tried all the spot products. This worked as it helps his ph balance and doesn't dry out skin. 4 Lynne's daughter Sophie tried the beef tallow to treat a rash on her face Credit: TikTok/@lynnelxx 4 The results were incredible after just 10 hours Credit: TikTok/@lynnelxx "Then my youngest used it for contact dermatitis and my oldest daughter, only other thing that worked for her was steriod cream which you then withdraw from which is worse than the original skin condition. "I use the body cream for my dry skin due to menopause. It's so soft, takes itchy skin away and doesn't sting. Very amazing product if I'm honest, I swear by it. All my daughters' friends are using it now." Dr Nora Jafaar, Cosmetic Dermatology Expert, recommends using it as a night balm on clean, damp skin to lock in moisture. Speaking to Holland and Barrett, she adds: 'Start with a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers. 'It's particularly good on dry and flaky skin, so if you have this skin type you might see results thanks to its barrier-supporting and soothing properties.'

The confirmed closure of the manufacturing plant is set to occur in the second half of 2026 WORK WOES Major cheese company confirms closure of Irish manufacturing plant in Laois as 132 jobs under threat A MAJOR cheese company has confirmed their plans to close a manufacturing plant in Portlaoise in the second half of next year. The US cheese company Leprino Foods has announced its closure plans for the manufacturing plant in Co Laois, which currently employs around 132 Irish employees. The firm, which produces mozzarella and string cheese, said the "difficult" decision was taken after a "comprehensive evaluation" of all possible options to improve the financial and operational performance of the Portlaoise plant. Some 132 staff work at the Laois site. The confirmed closure of the manufacturing plant is set to occur in the second half of 2026. In a statement, Chief Executive of Leprino Europe Paul Vernon said: "Despite considerable efforts, the level of sustainable improvement needed could not be achieved. "Closing the site will help ensure that Leprino can remain competitive while optimising its manufacturing footprint to continue meeting the evolving needs of customers. 'We understand the impact this announcement will have on our colleagues, their families, and the local community. 'We want to express our sincere gratitude to the talented team at Portlaoise. This decision does not lessen the value of their hard work or contributions.' Leprino said it will provide enhanced redundancy packages as well as career transition assistance to employees. It is also understood the current production in Portlaoise will be transitioned to other European sites in Magheralin in Northern Ireland and Llangefni in Wales. They added: "The company will provide enhanced redundancy packages, career transition assistance, and regular updates to ensure transparency at every stage." 'CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES' "In parallel to the above we will continue to explore opportunities for the site with any potentially interested third parties." Leprino has only been in operation in Portlaoise since 2020. It started as a family-owned company in Denver, Colorado, in 1950 when Mike Leprino Sr started making mozzarella cheese for his family's corner grocery shop. Leprino is now one of the largest producers of mozzarella cheese in the world, and also supplies lactose, whey protein, micellar casein, and sweet whey. It employs more than 5,500 people globally and has global sales in 80 countries.
