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.

What to watch on TV and streaming today: Glastonbury, Emily Bronte biopic and Grenfell: Uncovered

Glastonbury Across the BBC Yes, it's that time of year again, when thousands of music lovers from around the world descend on Worthy Farm in Somerset for a weekend of music and more. It's 55 years since Michael Eavis welcomed visitors to his estate for a pop, blues and folk festival, which was headlined by The Kinks and T Rex, the latter being a last-minute replacement for Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. It's fair to say that things have grown since then… This year, much of the focus will be on headliners The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, who will be appearing on the iconic Pyramid Stage. Charlie XCX, Kaiser Chiefs, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Wolf Alice are also set to appear, with Rod Stewart taking the famous Sunday afternoon legends slot. It's also rumoured that Lady Gaga, who last played at the festival in 2009, may appear. There is also a large Irish contingent set to perform, including controversial rap trio Kneecap, who are back on the festival circuit after being removed from Glasgow's TRNSMT following a row over their political statements. Look out too for CMAT, Sprints, Inhaler, The Script and Snow Patrol, while Lorraine Nash, Oisín Leech, Hothouse Flowers, The Coronas, The Riptide Movement, The Henry Girls and US artist Rhiannon Giddens, who now calls Co Limerick home, are set to feature on the Acoustic Stage. With a line-up like that, it promises to be another classic year for attendees and TV viewers alike.

Murderer Behind The Mask Prime Video, streaming now True crime isn't just the purview of Netflix, you know, and this Prime Video offering about Elaine O'Hara and Graham Dwyer hits particularly close to home. It highlights how An Garda Síochana meticulously pieced together the truth, turning an overlooked case into one of Ireland's most haunting murder trials. Back in September 2013, the remains of childcare worker O'Hara were discovered in the Dublin mountains. Initially believed to be a suicide, her case took a twisted tangent when fishermen stumbled upon crucial evidence leading to Dwyer, a respected architect who lived in Foxrock with his wife and kids. Beneath his carefully crafted facade lurked a secret life fuelled by a dark stabbing obsession, revealed through his disturbing text exchanges with O'Hara. Over the course of two 45-minute instalments, this Wag Entertainment-produced series purports to uncover how the investigation unfolded and the tragic story behind Elaine's murder.

And Just Like That's new teaser sparks conspiracy theory that Samantha Jones is BACK after Kim Cattrall season 2 cameo

SEX and the City fans are convinced that Samantha Jones might make her long-awaited return in an upcoming episode. After Kim Cattrall's bombshell cameo in the Season 2 finale, a teaser from HBO Max has reignited hopes that Samantha might appear in another episode — despite the feud between the lead actresses. 4 HBO Max shared a teaser for Thursday's episode on Instagram Credit: Instagram 4 Kim Cattrall's cameo as Samantha Jones in the Season 2 finale of And Just Like That Credit: HBO MAX 4 Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis in 1998 Credit: Getty Ahead of Thursday night's episode, Max (soon to be HBO Max) posted a hint at Samantha's comeback with an out-of-context picture from the show. The picture shows someone going to text Samantha Jones. The streaming service simply captioned the post with an eyes emoji, leaving fans to their own devices in the comments. "WE WANT HER. WE NEED HER," one Instagram user wrote. Another added, "Wait is she coming back? i'd start watching the show again." "You guys keep messing up with our hearts like that…," a third wrote, referencing the Season 2 cameo. Cattrall's appearance in last season's finale shocked viewers as the actress had previously said she wasn't interested in starring on the show due to her fallout with lead actress Sarah Jessica Parker. SJP has continued to film the show with the other leads, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, but fans of the iconic '90s series have persistently lamented the Most read in TV Old The fans' complaints paid off when Samantha took a phone call from Carrie, SJP's character, in the episode that aired in 2023. However, Cattrall didn't have to be in the same room as the other stars to film the short scene — which was likely on purpose. And Just Like That fans are 'crying' over Samantha Jones' cameo on season finale and claim Kim Cattrall 'saved the show' The actress said on The View in 2023 that the show bosses called her and begged her to make a cameo. "It's very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, 'What can we do?'" Cattrall said on the talk show. She said that she responded, "'Hmm, let me get creative.'" One of Cattrall's requirements was that Pat Field, the original costume designer for Sex and the City, work on her outfit for the cameo. Field, who declined to work on AJLT, agreed to dress Samantha again. "I just thought that if I'm going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did,' Cattrall said on The View. Cattrall reportedly filmed the scene without seeing or speaking to any of the show's other stars, and she didn't interact with the show's creator, Michael Patrick King, SJP and Cattrall's feud reportedly started when Cattrall found out that the actress was making more per episode than her. The feud came to a head in 2018 when SJP expressed her sympathy after Cattrall's brother died. Cattrall slammed her on X at the time, saying, "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' "Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. 'You are not my family. You are not my friend. 'Stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona." She later publicly said that SJP was never her friend, only her colleague. Parker has denied any bad blood between the two. Read more on the Irish Sun Fans have yet to see if Parker and Cattrall come face to face in AJLT this season. The Season 3 finale is currently slated for August 14, 2025. 4 Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of And Just Like That in Manhattan on July 9, 2024, in New York City Credit: Getty

‘I used to stand on the street in a bikini selling ice-cream' – Vogue Williams on early modelling career

While speaking on Kate Thornton's podcast, White Wine Question Time, Ms Williams spoke of her experiences while starring on Irish reality show Fade Street, which followed a group of young adults navigating life and careers in Dublin. 'We used to do modelling on TV in the mornings, and [my father] would be telling everybody he saved all the newspapers and stuff,' she told the podcast. 'But that show, it was the show that everybody loved to hate. But it got me started. And I don't think I'd love to do a show like that now, but I just kind of took every opportunity when I was young. I wasn't storming any catwalks. Weirdly enough, I wasn't invited on them 'We used to do modelling on TV in the mornings, and [my father] would be telling everybody he saved all the newspapers and stuff,' she told the podcast. 'But that show, it was the show that everybody loved to hate. But it got me started. And I don't think I'd love to do a show like that now, but I just kind of took every opportunity when I was young. 'When I was younger, modelling in Ireland was a very different thing. I always have to point that out. So, when people say 'model', I'm like: 'Oh no, please don't say model'. 'I used to stand on the street in a bikini with a Magnum ice-cream selling Magnums or a €50m thing for the Lotto, standing on the tracks of the tram line. 'That's the thing. I wasn't storming any catwalks. Weirdly enough, I wasn't invited on them. But we loved it. Sadly, the pictures still very much exist, but I'm not embarrassed of them. 'You'd be sitting in a giant cocktail glass sometimes. You just never knew. It was wild,' she said. The author of Big Mouth also spoke of meeting her husband and TV personality Spencer Matthews when he was 'very fond of the drink', but 'he was so much fun'. 'I always said about Spencer, we're not going to go out with each other, but we'll be friends forever,' she said. 'That's a really good base for a relationship. But then, when it all kind of came to a head with him with the drink, I just kind of stood back and I was like: 'I'm not asking you to stop. This is kind of your own path'. 'Particularly when it comes to drinking, you can't change somebody; they have to want to change themselves because it just won't stick otherwise. 'They must want to do it themselves, and that's what he did, thankfully.' She also said she believed her late father, Freddie Williams, who died in 2010, would have 'really liked' her husband. 'Strangely enough, everyone says that. My whole family say that. 'They're like: 'No, he would have actually really gotten along with him', even though he didn't like me having boyfriends because I was his youngest child,' she said. 'So, he was very protective over me. But I think Spencer would have passed the mark eventually. 'He would have started talking to him after a year or so. You can't not like Spence.' In her memoir Big Mouth, she also revealed she felt like an 'ugly duckling' growing up. 'When I was younger, I just wasn't the one that the boys fancied. It didn't bother me too much, I knew my place,' she said. 'I was always hunched in pictures, and I'd smile with my mouth closed and, yeah, now it's always open.'
