Why police were called to first Dunnes Stores opening
BETWEEN the weekly food shops and bargain fashion - Dunnes Stores is a staple retailer in Irish households.
But this wasn't always the case, and when the initial branch of the shop opened its doors in 1944 it caused quite the stir
On March 31 of the year,
Locals quickly learned of the grand opening and flooded into the store in what the retailer's archives recall as a 'shopping frenzy.'
The bargain clothing on sale inside the new store at 'pre-war prices' was one of the factors cited for the buzz.
During the chaos a window was forced in and
Cops worked to deal with the eager crowds and keep shoppers calm and safe before they made it into the store for their first Dunnes experience.
Fast forward some 80 years, the business now employs over 18,000 people and although an opening of a Dunnes branch hasn't caused quite as much stir since the very first one, it has cemented its place as
Dunnes Stores now has 138 stores across Europe:
118 in the Republic of Ireland,
15 in Northern Ireland

Little Shop of Horrors opens for business in Dublin
With Little Shop of Horrors set to open at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin this weekend, Evelyn O'Rourke headed there to meet the creative team behind the theatre's first in-house production. In 1986 a movie called Little Shop of Horrors burst on to cinema screens, telling the story of a hapless florist called Seymour who stumbles upon a mysterious plant that grows into a monster. The American horror comedy musical film, directed by Frank Oz, was a big hit with cinema audiences at the time, subsequently transferring to stage version which has been a popular show for both amateur and professional productions over the years. This weekend sees a new stage production opening at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin and the excitement is building as the team there is producing its own in-house production for the first time. "The aim is to give Irish musical creative teams, both on and off stage, an opportunity to work on a home grown level production on a major scale," explained Stephen Faloon, General Manager of the theatre. The cast and creative team behind Little Shop of Horrors. Photo by Brian McEvoy Claire Tighe, director and choreographer for the show in Dublin, describes this production as a "statement of intent by investing in a fully Irish cast and creative team" and explained how it started with an open casting call where over 2,000 hopefuls auditioned. "The idea is to demonstrate the breadth of musical theatre talent, not just only on stage but also in supportive, and the off stage, creative side of things." She went on to explain how "most talented people, the people who want to work within the industry, have to go abroad to work elsewhere, because that is where the action is, so to bring it to Ireland is special." Musical director David Hayes also teaches at the School of Music in Cork and he said that young students are very interested in developing music related careers here. "There are a number of under graduate third level courses in Ireland, and now with the Leaving Cert rolling out the new theatre, drama, and film studies course too this year, it shows the on-going interest," he said. David O'Reilly as Seymour Krelborn. Photo by Cían O'Riain He is enthusiastic about this production, noting that "this is an important moment for musical theatre, it takes a step forward, that we don't have to go to the UK all the time anymore, or it isn't our default, that you have to go, to the UK, we can do it here." He added, "there's an opportunity, there is space, there's facility, there are resources and now there's a will which was the missing bit I guess." David O'Reilly, who is playing Seymour Krelborn in the show, said that he and his friends have always had to focus on the UK as a base for work explaining that "certainly when I went over in 2007, if you wanted to work in musicals, you had to go over and live in London and train in London and kind of carve out a career there, so think its going to really change the landscape of musical theatre in Ireland and I'm very proud to be part of it." Little Shop of Horrors is set to open in the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on 25 July. Photo by Brian McEvoy Faloon said they have been building towards this production for many years, explaining that they are usually host touring West End productions and that "for 16 years I have watched, Irish talent come on and off stage as part of a tour of a brilliant West End or Broadway show, even like Kinky Boots last week, that we had two Irish stars in it, but they can't get work in Ireland." He added "they have to go to London and beyond in order to get work, and this is the chance to bring them back home."

Fab News Which? stated: "The colour of your kid's swimsuit could save their life. "If you're buying a swimming costume for your child, you should choose a bright neon block colour."

Constant Supervision : Always keep a close watch on children when they are in or near water. Avoid distractions like phones or books. Learn CPR : Take a CPR course to be prepared for emergencies. Ensure that any caregivers or babysitters also know CPR. Swim Lessons : Enroll children in age-appropriate swim lessons. Encourage them to practice regularly to build confidence and skills. Use Life Jackets : Ensure children wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets when boating or near open bodies of water. Do not rely solely on inflatable toys or floaties for safety. Establish Water Rules : Set and enforce rules such as no running near the pool, no diving in shallow water, and swimming only with adult supervision. Secure Pools : Install barriers around pools, such as fences with self-latching gates. Use pool covers and alarms to provide additional layers of security. Educate About Water Hazards : Teach children about the dangers of drains and suction outlets in pools and hot tubs. Explain the risks of natural water bodies like currents, tides, and underwater obstacles. Stay Hydrated and Sun-Protected : Ensure children drink plenty of water and take breaks to avoid dehydration. Apply waterproof sunscreen to protect their skin from harmful UV rays. Buddy System : Encourage the buddy system where children swim in pairs or groups, ensuring they look out for each other. Check Water Depth and Conditions : Verify the depth of the water and check for any hazards before allowing children to enter.
