Everything to know as Penneys app finally coming to Ireland
Penneys have announced that they're releasing an app for customers looking to shop for their entire range. It's been wanted for as long as shopping apps have been a thing, and yet it never seemed like it was going to happen, until today, as Primark (what they call Penneys outside of Ireland) have announced that their new app has launched today (August 5). The app will allow customers to have the full Penneys experience in the palm of their hand, while still allowing the thrill of seeing an item you didn't previously have on your radar but might want to pick up a la a real Penneys in-store experience. Penneys have announced that they're releasing an app for customers looking to shop for their entire range. Pic: Chrisdorney/Shutterstock The new app allows people to browse the shops' newest trends and style inspiration wherever they are, with a stock checker allowing them to check and see if an item that catches their eye is available in their local store. A built-in store locator provides ease of access to the shop's opening hours and directions, while the favourites feature allows people to save items they may like for their next visit. You're also able to have personalised notifications to stay up to date on the latest arrivals, collection launches, and exclusive updates, all delivered through the app, which allows for effortless navigation. Alas, there's no delivery option (but hey, if you're looking for something specific from Penneys, it's convenient that you can check!) The app will allow for people to browse Penney's collections from their phones, while they'll also be able to check and see if an item they want is in store. Pic: Penneys 'We know our customers love the buzz of a Penneys store — from discovering the latest trends to picking up everyday essentials for the family,' Fintan Costello, Head of Penneys Ireland and Northern Ireland, said. 'Our digital channels are driving shoppers into our stores, and so with more people browsing online before they shop, the Penneys app extends that experience, offering a convenient and inspiring way to explore our ranges anytime, anywhere. Whether at home or on the go, now it's never been easier to connect with Penneys.' The app will allow people to check if there are items available in their local stores. Pic: Penneys The Penneys app is available in Ireland from Tuesday, August 5, and is completely free to download. Anyone with an Apple device (iPhone, iPad etc) can download them HERE, while people with Android devices can download them HERE via the Google Play Store. Alternatively, you can go on to your respective App Store and search Primark/Penneys.

How a lucky Galway Lotto winner held on to their ticket worth a life changing sum
A Galway Lotto player had an unorthodox way of hiding their winning ticket worth €250,000. There were three winners in the county of the tribes over the course of a week scooping impressive sums, with one of those wins being a tasty €250k purchased in a Circle K store on the Newcastle Road during the July 16th Lotto Plus draw.

Contact the National Lottery prize claims team as soon as possible on 1800 666 222 or email claims@ where arrangements will be made for you to collect your prize. While money that isn't won in National Lottery draws rolls into the next draw, the same isn't the case for money that has been won but not claimed. If a person fails to claim their winnings within the 90-day time frame, the funds will be put into the promotion of the National Lottery — which in turn increases funds raised for good causes. In 2021, the Irish Times reported that the Lottery used more than €90m in unclaimed prize money to promote itself across a six-year period.
