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.

Greta Thunberg sets sail on Gaza aid ship wearing League of Ireland jersey

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was spotted wearing a Bohemians jersey as she set sail on board the Madleen, as part of an effort to bring aid to Gaza. Thunberg appeared on Instagram wearing the club's third jersey, sponsored by Fontaines DC, an Irish band that has been involved in fundraising efforts to try to bring relief to the besieged territory. Bohs have played their part in raising awareness of the plight of Palestinians. Last year the club's senior women's team welcomed the Palestine women's international side to Dalymount Park for a friendly. And the club's Chief Operating Officer Daniel Lambert is manager of Kneecap, a band that has long been vocal in its support of Palestine. Thunberg is one of 12 people hoping to bring aid to Gaza. They set sail from Sicily on Sunday with the aim of bringing aid and awareness in the wake of the ongoing humanitarian crisis there. Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham is another member of the Madleen crew.

Behind the music - i n n e r l i z z a r d s

Limerick producer, singer and songwriter Rory Hall aka Proper Micro NV has released his latest single, I Want To Cry But I Can't, under his new project, i n n e r l i z z a r d s. We asked him the BIG questions . . . Speaking about his new venture, he says, "I've been working as Proper Micro NV for 10 years now (which shocks me to even say). I love working on the project and I will absolutely continue to do so. "Over the last year or two however, I've had a burning desire to start a new project. I want to create, and i n n e r l i z z a r d s will hopefully be the mega-massive release of thoughts and feelings that I think I've always needed. "My plan is to take this one step at a time. I don't want to get lost in a machine. I just want to release, wait and hopefully see. Throw another plate on!" Tell us three things about yourself . . . I'm an Irish singer and producer who works under both i n n e r l i z z a r d s and Proper Micro NV. I've played festivals and venues all around Ireland and the UK - Electric Picnic, Latitude, Body and Soul and the Dublin Castle etc. I love my dogs! How would you describe your music? I suppose electronic has always been a baseline for me and then it's just a case of what I start building around that. At the moment, it's quite lo-fi and a little bit R&B. I suppose it's emotional music this time around. Who are your musical inspirations? A bit of everything really. My main inspirations in terms of live music would be artists like Basement Jaxx, Gorillaz and Grace Jones. People who put on big live shows and do it so well. I've been listening to a lot of The Cure and Baxter Drury lately. I love anything that taps in to my emotion as well as my performative side. What was the first gig you ever went to? Grace Jones at Electric Picnic in 2015. She blew my mind and kind of changed everything. What a phenomenal performer. I distinctly remember the crowd waiting and waiting in anticipation, the curtains finally opened on stage and she was standing on this huge platform wearing something amazing. The definition of a star. I remember leaving the stage thinking to myself – did that just happen? What was the first record you ever bought? As far as I can remember it was a Gorillaz record (Demon Days). My Dad used to play it on tape in his van when it first came out. I remember it being the first record that fully took me in. What's your favourite song right now? At the moment it's Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. I was in New York earlier this year and heard it playing out loud in a restaurant. It's been stuck in my head since. Favourite lyric of all time? "I wish I didn't miss you anymore" - Wish I Didn't Miss You by Angie Stone. It's such a beautiful song and lyric and the way she sang it was just so striking. What a great voice she had. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Raindrops by Basement Jaxx. I love their music and the way the records are always so busy. It's a really unique production style that you don't really find often. Where can people find your music/more information? On Spotify as i n n e r l i z z a r d s. Instagram. Alan Corr

Wexford's Fringe Fleadh initiative tuning up for opening sessions in New Ross

The Fringe Fleadh, which is an initiative by Wexford County Council, is promised to be a vibrant series across the county, with the New Ross town centre set to come alive to the sound of traditional Irish music from the much-loved Danecastle. On Saturday, June 7 at 2.30 pm, the live performance in Brennan's Lane, will create a spirited afternoon of music and community celebration. The special outdoor session is the ideal set up which was much anticipated by the District Manager, Alan Fitzhenry, and Deputy Chief Executive of Wexford County Council and Director of Services, Eamonn Hore, as they seen the Brennan's Lane project recently come to fruition. The laneway now boasts a beautiful open space, with a smaller area enclosed with a roof, a mural, benches and greenery which is the newest area in town to host street sessions of live music, trad sessions, and community events, while arts and crafts markets are also in the works. 'Here the New Ross Municipal District, along with the councillors and the staff, we're really excited to see the crowds gather for the Fringe Fleadh in Brennan's Lane," said Mr Fitzhenry, adding that the carefully chosen location 'is a beautiful new public realm space and this event will really showcase the potential of the laneway and all its great uses.' Seeing the much needed clean-up project of Brennan's Lane fulfilled in time for local musicians to utilise the space throughout the summer goes in hand with the aim of the Fringe Fleadh, which is to showcase local talent and spaces on our doorstep and to embrace the arts in more than just a traditional setting. It was previously reported in the New Ross Standard on April 25, 1991, that 'Brennan's Lane needs a clean-up', however, other reports in the paper in relation to the area dated back to 1898, when a 'Total Abstinence Meeting in New Ross' was held by the Protestant Total Abstinence Society in the hall of the Hill School. The Hill School, which was originally built in 1799, to the rear of Brennan's Lane was known as St. Mary's Terrace, and said to be the birth place of Michael O'Hanrahan, who was a member of the Gaelic League and served in the 1916 Easter Rising. The pride of both Mr Hore, and Mr Fitzhenry, in the restoration appears timeless, despite the laneway being reopened in April, as they both continue to observe the delight of locals who access the historic area, but in its newly brightened and colourful capacity. At the opening, Mr Hore said the project showcases Wexford County Council's 'dedication to enhancing our communities, fostering pride, and supporting local vitality.' "The refurbishment of Brennan's Lane has transformed it into a safer, more accessible, and vibrant space for residents, businesses, and visitors alike,' he added. With the schedule for the Fringe Fleadh quickly taking shape, Mr Fitzhenry said having seen the AIMS Choral Festival utilise the space last week, 'a very large crowd of over 300 people were in the laneway and there was still loads of space, but it was just fantastic to see everyone there enjoying the great weather and we hope that atmosphere continues for the Fringe Fleadh in June.' Performances will continue to take place each Saturday in June, with Saturday, June 28 expected to filled with an entire day of live entertainment. The Fringe Fleadh will also take place in other areas across the county, from Seisiún by the Sea in Morriscastle to performances by The Blackwater Céilí Band at St. Martin's Community Centre in Piercestown, and the Enniscorthy Irish Folk and Ballad Festival, the programme is packed with musical highlights. Supported by Comhaltas branches, community groups, and local performers, each event is a celebration of Irish identity, heritage, and community pride delivered in a warm, inclusive, and joyful atmosphere. Wexford County Council invites locals and visitors alike to be part of this unique summer celebration. Whether you're discovering traditional music for the first time or returning to a beloved tradition, Fringe Fleadh 2025 promises unforgettable moments and the true spirit of the Fleadh.
