With the recent weather that we've all been enjoying (and hoping stays for a while), the Buckle Footbed Sandal is the ideal addition to your wardrobe.
The sleek straps and polished hardware bring just the right touch of sophistication, while the contoured leather insole cushions every step, perfect for days that take you from brunch to sunset strolls.
Whether pairing them with your favourite faded denim or a breezy summer dress, these sandals are your go-to for effortless elegance.
Posting the sandals to their website, fashion bosses at Dunnes Stores said: 'These smart buckled sandals feature a contoured leather insole, making them super comfortable for all day wear.
'Wear yours with everything from denim to dresses.'
Like the Irish retailer's last edition of the trendy sandals, eagle-eyed shoppers quickly noticed the striking similarity to the Birkenstock Arizona sandal–but there was only one noticeable difference!
Coming in at just €15, the Dunnes dupe is up to an eye-watering €98 cheaper than its luxury rivals, which could set you back around €113, depending on where you buy them.

50th anniversary of Seamus Heaney's landmark collection on Troubles to be marked
The 50th anniversary of the publication of Seamus Heaney's collection North, which saw the poet directly address the Northern Ireland Troubles for the first time, is to be marked. A three-day conference at the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's University Belfast will bring together experts from around the world to discuss the significance of the Nobel laureate poet's landmark work. The event, in partnership with Trinity College Dublin, takes place from June 5-7 and will also mark the first anniversary of the Belfast venue. Poet Paul Muldoon will be among those taking part in the event at the Seamus Heaney Centre (Liam McBurney/PA) Heaney, who died in 2013, was one of the world's best known modern poets. Pulitzer prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon and Professor Edna Longley will be among authors, academics and poets discussing the significance of North 50 years on. There will also be a family friendly traditional music session and a screening of the documentary Heaney in Limboland, made for TV in 1970 and featuring Heaney's views on the rapidly deteriorating political situation in Northern Ireland. Upon publication in 1975, the American poet Robert Lowell said North represented 'a new kind of political poetry by the best Irish poet since WB Yeats' and the anthology went on to win awards including the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize and the WH Smith Memorial Prize. There is no understanding poetry from these islands in the past half century, without North. Heaney himself admitted the collection took a 'hammering' from other quarters, closer to home, for its representation of violence and gender politics. Many academics consider it to be a key moment in the evolution of Heaney from a significant Irish poet to a poet of international standing, culminating in his winning of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995. Director of the Seamus Heaney Centre, Professor Glenn Patterson said: 'Whichever way you come at it, in admiration, in awe or in search of an argument, there is no understanding poetry from these islands in the past half century, without North. 'There are not many books, of any kind, that merit an 'at 50' conference, but North seems only to grow in significance with every year that passes, and with every year that passes to attract new readers, and new critical thinking.' The publication was such a seminal moment in my father's life and career The poet's daughter Catherine Heaney, said: 'We are proud and honoured that the 50th anniversary of North is being marked with this conference, alongside Faber's reissue of the volume in its original jacket. 'The publication was such a seminal moment in my father's life and career and it is testament to its staying power that, five decades on, it continues to resonate with readers and inspire scholarly debate.' Dr Stephen O'Neill from Trinity College Dublin said: 'Written under the strain of what Seamus Heaney called 'a very high pressure', North was a landmark in his writing career. 'It was and is also a landmark in criticism, as a subject for many of the leading critics of Irish literature then and now. 'Organised to coincide with Faber's anniversary republication of the volume, the conference is a chance to reflect upon the impact of Heaney's fourth collection and reassess its reception.' All events will take place at the Seamus Heaney Centre at Queen's. Attendance is free but registration is required.

Get Creative: The craft of non-fiction - writing groups and first readers
Ever thought about writing non-fiction, be it an essay, a memoir or even a brief snapshot of your life? Why not take the leap? In a new series, author, critic and broadcaster Cristín Leach explores the craft of non-fiction. I'm going to start with a touchy topic and end with a complicated one. I have heard more than one tale of an emerging writer sharing their work with a writing group only to find their idea appropriated or coming back at them later, recognisable in different but similar form. The only advice here is to never do that to someone else, and to be careful about where you share your works in progress. The best first readers, advice and feedback-givers are symbiotic not parasitic. I recommend finding a reader-writer peer at a similar stage in their writing career to pair with. Attending workshops with a focus on the kind of writing you interesting in doing can be a good way to meet someone. In a pairing scenario, you give some time to their writing and they give some time to yours. It's the kind of fruitful attention bartering that can be invaluable because it is free and mutually respectful. It can also be helpful to have a first reader who is not also a writer; a reader who treats your work with joy and respect, and requires nothing back other than the pleasure of doing this important early-response job for you. It goes without saying that you should not join a writing group where the traffic is all one way. Watch: Demystifying Submissions - advice from the editors of Irish literary journals If possible, another option is to find a professional mentor. The Irish Writers Centre in Dublin runs an annual open-submission 32-county National Mentoring Programme, which includes writers of creative non-fiction, pairing selected mentees with professional writers over a period of six to eight months. If your first reader is someone close to you and you are writing non-fiction in the form of memoir or personal essay, you may hit the second topic quite quickly. It's a question of ethics, and voice, and how to own your story in public when it is a personal one. Personal essays tend to have real life other people in them, unless the account is of an entirely solo adventure, and even then no one exists in a vacuum. Listen: The Prompt - RTÉ's new showcase for fresh Irish writing There's no definitive, foolproof way to approach this. I can offer a few steps. First, give yourself permission to tell your own story. Second, identify what elements of the story are in fact yours. Third, don't try to tell the story from a perspective that isn't yours. Anonymise where possible. It is also acceptable to change names and other details to protect identities. After that, whether to invite comment, feelings, thoughts, or permissions has to be a personal choice. Melissa Febos' Bodywork: The Radical Power of Personal Narrative (2022) is an excellent resource on this complicated territory. She writes, "it is difficult to predict what will upset people… Each person who was present for the events about which I have written has a different true story for them." And she offers this pertinent advice for the memoirist: "There are good essays that there are good reasons not to write."

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.
