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.

"On our good days, long before there was a pregnancy, we wondered what Molly will think of us as parents, and what kind of kid she would be.

Michael Quane and Johanna Connor: Cork husband and wife artists unite for joint exhibition
The fact that Michael Quane and Johanna Connor work in different, but complementary, media is reflected in the title of their new exhibition at the Lavit Gallery in Cork. Pencil – Paper – Chisel – Stone features Connor's pencil drawings of objects and landscapes alongside Quane's limestone and marble sculptures of people, beasts and inflatables. The two are not just collaborators, they are also a couple, having connected during the Covid pandemic. 'We were following each other on Instagram for a while,' says Connor. 'At the time, I was working with horses, and I was really mesmerised by Michael's sculptures. I wanted to know what the connection was, so I asked him. And Michael said that he'd need my email for that, it was such a long answer.' 'We emailed each other for a week after that,' says Quane, 'and then we met.' Horses, he explains, have preoccupied him since his student days at the Crawford College of Art & Design in the 1980s. 'At that time, I had a group of very good friends who were all very strong feminists,' he says. 'I encoded an awful lot of what I was trying to say through animals, and the horse, for me, represented male energy and power. But it's since become invested with all kinds of other meanings, to do with human progress, for instance.' Quane's interest in horses found expression in the public art commissions he began winning not long after he graduated. The fees for his Horses and Riders sculpture at Mallow Roundabout and Fallen Horse and Rider at Midleton helped pay for the former Church of Ireland church in Coachford, Co Cork he acquired for £24,000 in 1994. Michael Quane with one of his pieces at the Lavit. Refurbishing the building has been a long-term project, which Connor helped complete when she moved in in November 2020. As well as being their home, the former church houses their two studios and an exhibition space. 'It's not a commercial enterprise,' says Quane of the latter. 'We show our own work, and sometimes work by other artists. We open for Culture Night in September every year. Three years ago, we had one of our neighbours come in. The second year, we had maybe twenty. But last year, we had scores of local people. It's getting bigger every year.' They also open by appointment. 'One day last week, we had 100 school children come in. It was fantastic. They're just so curious, you know?' While Quane has worked full-time as a studio artist for over 40 years, Connor – a native of Schull, Co Cork – explored other avenues after graduating from the Limerick School of Art & Design. 'I studied painting initially,' she says. 'But after my diploma, I took some time out and worked with the Bedrock theatre company in Dublin. Then I applied for the Motley Theatre Design Course in London. I was very fortunate to get in; they only take ten people every year.' She returned to Dublin, working as a freelance designer. 'But then the scene kind of changed,' she says. 'So I went back to London. I'd met someone, and I discovered I was pregnant. Things changed for me then. I was born with a twisted intestine and the pregnancy didn't work out. I lost the baby, and I nearly died. Then I went right, what next? I ended up moving back to Schull.' For the next twelve years, Connor worked with horses. She maintained her interest in art, exhibiting at the West Cork Art Centre and producing a children's book with her friend Gabrielle Byrne. Eventually, she returned to study, completing an MA: Art and Practice at the Crawford College of Art & Design in Cork in 2018. Thereafter, she began making art in earnest. One of Johanna Connor's pieces at the Lavit. Picture: Ros Kavanagh 'In 2020, I was heading off to New York on a residency when Covid happened. And that's when I met Mike.' The two married in 2023, and now spend most of their time at their respective practices. 'We work separately,' says Quane. 'But we check in on each other throughout the day. I might help Johanna out of a hole, or she might help me. It's a lovely partnership.' Seeing their work put together in the Lavit has been inspiring. 'It's a really quiet space to show in,' says Connor, 'and the work just sits so beautifully.' She can't wait to get back in the studio, she adds. 'I want to develop the drawing more. I'm starting to introduce a little bit of colour lately, and maybe the scale will change, or I'll start using other materials. We'll see.' Quane, meanwhile, is looking forward to a break. 'Between doing up the church and making work,' he says, 'I've been going flat-out for five years. After this exhibition, I feel a really strong urge to step back and get some perspective on where I want to go next. I'm 63 now, so this is my time to do it. You will probably see more of Johanna, and less of me.' Michael Quane and Johanna Connor, Pencil – Paper – Chisel – Stone runs at the Lavit Gallery, Cork until June 14. Further information:

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.
