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.
1 week agoBlogsComments Off on Katie Price’s weight-reveal is sick & damaging – I know because posts like this gave me an eating disorder at 20
KATIE Price recently revealed exactly how much she weighs following fan concerns over her skinny frame.
The former glamour model, 47, who first sparked worry over her shrinking appearance at the start of the year, hit out at critics on Snapchat as she zoomed in on a set of scales.
InstagramKatie Price recently sparked concern amongst fans as she revealed very slim frame in a new video[/caption]
Katie’s implant-free body is closer to a mere 7st 2lb… or that of a young teenage girlSnapchatAs a young teenager, I used to idolise stars and celebs like Katie – which lead to developing an eating disorderSupplied
The TV personality, believed to be around 5ft 4in tall, showed her weight as 7st 12lb.
In an attempt to put fears to rest Katie, said in the video: “Everyone is so obsessed with my weight. This is what I weigh. That. That is what I weigh.”
But with the combined weight of her mega 2120cc breast implants removed – which are thought to weigh around 4.87lb each – her implant-free body is closer to a mere 7st 2lb… or that of a young teenage girl.
That puts her BMI at 17.2 which is below the healthy range and in the underweight category (18.5 and under).
However, while the number on the scale might seem okay to the mum-of-five, in my eyes, the weight reveal is possibly Katie’s most disgusting act to date – and it’s a huge trigger for those already struggling with their body image.
As a young teenager, I used to idolise stars and celebs like Katie, and anything that revealed how they attained their figure and weight was ”skinny porn” that fed my eating disorder.
Just like the thousands of young girls and women hiding in her 2.7million followers on Instagram, I was once a healthy and active young girl.
But my life, for years, was dominated by orthorexia nervosa. It started during my first years of university.
Deriving from the Greek words ortho, meaning ”correct”, and orexis, meaning ”appetite”, this relatively new form of eating disorder viciously had me in its grip in my early 20s.
I was never fat or even chunky – but having a naturally more athletic frame meant I was always on the bigger side next to my peers at school.
Then, in 2009, when I had reached the unripe yet vulnerable and impressionable age of 13, Kate Moss shocked the world with her now-infamous mantra: ” Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
Although the legendary model, now 51, has since expressed her regret over the phrase, it was already too late for me and millions of people around the world.
There was also Paris Hilton – someone I had seen on the TV screen for years – Lana del Rey and Lady Gaga.
My eating disorder wasn’t an immediate effect – but being exposed to skinny stars started to alter my perception of what I was seeing in the mirror and in one yer alone I shrunk from 10st to just over 7st.
Years went by and physically, I was still healthy, constantly cycling to the nearby beach and going to the gym.
kate kulnieceI’ve since managed to escape the tight grip of my body image struggles – but it wasn’t an easy journey[/caption]
The mum-of-five has since left fans concerned over her frail frameGetty
But mentally, the eating disorder seed had already been planted and I started to compare my figure to what I was seeing online and to what my friends – also in the same boat – looked like.
Katie’s recent post, without her even being aware, at the time would’ve triggered my eating disorder even more – and I wouldn’t be surprised if I tried looking up her diet.
In 2015, aged 19, after graduating from high school in my hometown Riga, Latvia, I moved to the UK to pursue studies in journalism.
The only thing I could control – food
I left everything behind – my lifelong friends, the home I grew up in and most importantly, my family.
Suddenly, I felt like an alien and nothing was no longer in my control.
Nothing – apart from the food I was consuming and in turn, the number the scales were showing.
I had already been following a vegan lifestyle for a year at this point and although the weight started to drop, I was continuously searching for ways to shed even more off my 5’9” and 10st frame.
The Google search led me to several fads, including high carb, low fat and protein diet, which became a staple for two or so years.
I’d become so petrified of consuming any kind of fats that I banned olive oil, avocado and nuts from my diet.
I wouldn’t consume salt or processed sugar at all – and wouldn’t buy tomato puree as it contained 0.4g/100g of sodium.
My mornings would consist of heading for a 30 minute run on the treadmill on an empty stomach – or an hour if I had been ”naughty” the evening before and devoured one Oreo cookie.
Later, I’d head home to whip up a delicious and chocolate-dense porridge for my now-ex – and a bowl of fruit for myself.
I distinctly recall standing by the stove and desperately wanting to have just one teaspoon of the porridge – but I never gave in the temptation.
”It’s not worth it, Kate,” I’d tell myself.
Going out for dates also became a huge challenge, as by then I had discovered intermittent fasting – which, put simply, is an eating plan where people switch between fasting and eating on a regular schedule, typically sticking to the 16:8 eating window.
If the pair of us were out and wanted to pop inside a cafe for a brunch at 11.55am, I’d make my partner wait five extra minutes when I’d break the fast.
How common are eating disorders in the UK?
BETWEEN 1.25million and 3.4million people in the UK have an eating disorder, research suggests.
Around 25 per cent of those affected are male.
Most eating disorders develop during adolescence and are most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 16 and 40, though they can affect anyone at any age.
Around 10 per cent of people with an eating disorder have anorexia, and about 40 per cent have bulimia.
The rest of sufferers have binge eating disorder or OSFED (other specified feeding or eating disorder).
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rates among psychiatric disorders.
The earlier someone gets help, the better their chances of recovery.
Hospital admissions for eating disorders have increased 84 per cent in the last five years, according to The Royal College of Psychiatrists.

For around two years, my diet consisted of plain rice, ridiculous amounts of veggies, oven-roasted spuds with no oil or seasoning, and fresh fruit for breakfast.
Everything else, in my mind, was a sin.
The vigorous running, HIIT classes (high intensity interval training) and nutritionally-limited diet eventually resulted in the inevitable – I weighed little over 7 stone and had lost nearly 3 stone in one year.
I became obsessed with running on an empty stomach and having skinny armskate kulniece
My body was so deprived of the vital vitamins and fats that, ultimately, I also lost period for 12 months; something at the time I was convinced was normal.
I was sleeping more than ever – but I constantly woke up shattered. Starving my body led to being irritated by the smallest of things – and I’d have emotional breakdowns on what felt like a weekly basis.
But despite being at my frailest, having a longed for thigh gap and washboard abs – it wasn’t enough. I’d spend nights crying in front of my mirror, wanting to be even thinner.
Without the help of my former boyfriend – who had to witness me withering away – I’d probably still be stuck in the same detrimental mindset, almost a decade on.
Getting help for an eating disorder
If you think you may have an eating disorder, see a GP as soon as you can.
A GP will ask about your eating habits and how you’re feeling, plus check your overall health and weight.
They may refer you to an eating disorder specialist or team of specialists.
It can be very hard to admit you have a problem and ask for help. It may make things easier if you bring a friend or loved one with you to your appointment.
You can also talk in confidence to an adviser from eating disorders charity Beat by calling the Beat helpline on 0808 801 0677.
After years of learning how to eat a balanced diet again, I’ve regained the weight back – currently at 11 stone 4lbs – and I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.
But while I no longer compare myself to celebs and influencers, millions of people, especially the next generation, do and will – and having famous faces like Katie plaster their tiny weight all over social media will only trigger a new tsunami of eating disorders.
Yes, it is possible to break free from their tight grip – and thankfully, there’s plenty of help and resources available out there.
But it’s not an easy journey or one that will take a week, a month or even a year – and those who don’t beat this mental health illness can suffer lifelong health implications and even die.
Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder. That’s more than 1 in 50 people – but the real number could be even higher, according to Beat Eating Disorders.
Although there is not much data available about eating disorder-caused mortality rates in the UK, the picture overseas, in the US, is bleak.
According to data, every 62 minutes at least one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder – and being exposed to skinny celebs like Katie could only make this number higher.
Nihal Candan, a Turkish TV personality and influencer, recently passed away after being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
The 30-year-old reportedly dropped to just 3st 6lbs after losing nearly 5st 8 lbs in the last two years.
So, as a survivor of a crippling illness, I’m begging you Katie – stop.

IRELAND Under-21 goalkeeper Killian Cahill revealed Josh Keeley’s reference convinced him to join Leyton Orient from Brighton.
Cahill, 21, moved to Orient on a free transfer ahead of the new season where he will replace Keeley, who has returned to Tottenham Hotspur after a season-long loan.
The Meath native had been at Brighton since 2022Keeley had a impressive season for the O’s even popping up with a goal
The former Shamrock Rovers academy product joined the Seagulls as an 18-year-old where he trained with the first team and featured in EFL Trophy games.
But he has switched to Brisbane Road keen to get first-team experience in a side that only missed out on promotion from League One last season in the play-off final.
Cahill said: “I can’t wait to get going and I’m really excited to join Leyton Orient. I spoke to Josh a lot last season, so feel like I know quite a bit about the club already.
“His journey here last season is a real inspiration; coming in as a young goalkeeper to fight for his place and taking his chance when it came.
“If I get an opportunity to play then I want to take it and help the club to have another good season.”
O’s Head Coach Richie Wellens added: “Killian comes with a great reputation from Brighton and we’re excited to have him with us at Leyton Orient.
“We needed to add a couple of goalkeepers to our squad with Josh Keeley and Sam Howes departing, and Killian will add real competition to that department.
“Killian is a long-term investment for the football club, and we are continuing with our recruitment process with the start of pre-season approaching us.”

instagramChavez Jr with his dad, daughter Julia and son Jr[/caption]
But ahead of his June 28 fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul – Chavez Jr has KO’d his mental demons.
He told SunSport: “Yes, it’s an unbelievable feeling. Still good mentally and doing everything right, like training and staying sober.
“So that means for me everything, my lifestyle, I’m back and I like this life. I like the discipline. I like running, I like training. So yes, I feel great.”
Chavez Jr once checked his father – the great Julio Cesar Sr – into rehab amid a crippling cocaine addiction which his dad said saved his life.
But years later the roles reversed and Chavez Sr last year claimed he feared his son would DIE due to his substance abuse.
The former middleweight world champion hit rock bottom in January 2024 when he was arrested in Los Angeles on gun charges.
According to police, he unlawfully possessed two AR-style ghost rifles and was later freed from custody on a $50,000 bond.
But Chavez Jr was forced to enter the residential treatment program – since turning his life around for the sake of his wife and two kids.
He said: “I have had too many problems in the past with substances and drinking and things like that.
“So I have for a couple of years tried to stop but it’s hard for me to stop alone. So I go to one of the places here after a problem that I had.
“And after that, I’m continuously sober for the first time. I have been for one year a month.
“I really don’t remember my bad days and I enjoy these days.”
Chavez Jr won the WBC title in 2011 – making three defences before losing it to Argentine Sergio Martinez – sparking inconsistent form.
A lack of dedication has plagued the son of a legend throughout his career – but he claims to have committed more to this fight than any other.
Chavez Jr said: “I’m training super hard like the old days and yes I’m taking this fight very seriously because it’s a good fight.
“Every single fight, the next one is the biggest and the more pressure. In the past, yeah, of course, I have a little bit of a break.
“I’m so excited and I’m happy to stay here.”
The 39-year-old shares daughter Julia and son Jr with wife Frida and he revealed his two kids know all too well about Paul and his celebrity circle.
He said: “My kids are very young, they know Jake Paul and Logan Paul and KSI and these guys. And yes, it’s good for me.
“That’s what motivates me for this fight because I wanna beat him and show how good a fighter I am for the new generation.”
He said: “Yes. I want to knock him out. Remember, Jake is big.
“So that’s the main thing is trying to pressure him and more to the body and later on, start to knock him out.”

Responsible gambling & tools at Lukki Casino
This could be an area for Lukki online casino to build on in the future. While it has a page dedicated to responsible gambling, it lacks a set of tools that would help players to stay in control of their play.
Lukki Casino does ask that anyone who feels they need help should get in touch with customer services. They also link out to a number of charities and support organisations that work in this sphere, including:
GAMSTOP.
Gambling Therapy.
Gamblers Anonymous.
Gordon House.
The links are useful, but it would be good to see limit tools, reality checks and self-exclusion tools on the platform.
Lukki Casino customer support info
Lukki Casino has a number of ways to get in touch with customer services if anyone has a query. It also lists a series of frequently asked questions, and while not everybody likes to use these, it’s one of the better sets around.
For those who prefer to speak to an advisor, there is a 24/7 live chat facility. Customers can also send an email, and there may be some help available via Lukki’s social media outlets.
Lukki online casino is licensed and regulated by the eGaming Commission of Curaçao, and details of this license can be found at the bottom of the operator’s homepage. While it’s early days in the operation, licensing is clearly important, and Lukki Casino has built up strong levels of trust among players.
It also employs high levels of SSL technology to encrypt personal data, so the platform scores highly in terms of security.
How to sign up at Lukki Casino Ireland
Signing up is a simple business at Lukki online casino. You should be set up and ready to play in just a few minutes if you follow these steps:
Visit Lukki Casino and click on the gold button marked ‘Join now’ to get started.

Check the box to accept the privacy policy plus terms and conditions.
Tick if you want to receive email notifications.
A verification link will be sent to your email address. Click on this to complete the process.
It seems strange that you don’t even have to enter your name, but Lukki Casino may well ask for proof of identity. Be prepared to have scans of essential documents on hand.
Expert’s verdict about Lukki Casino
There’s a lot to like about the Lukki Casino experience, and few potential downsides. The big plus point for players is the huge list of games, and with over 14,000 titles to select from, you’re sure to find several options to suit your gameplay.
We like the offers and bonuses listed by Lukki Casino, but the terms can be a little harsh at times. We would like to see some of the wagering requirements come down, but there is a good mix of choice and value here, backed by solid infrastructure. Overall, the sheer number of games makes it an attractive choice for Irish players seeking game diversity.

MANCHESTER UNITED are facing an uphill battle to move on some of their unwanted players, including one forgotten title-winning star.
The Red Devils find themselves needing to sell this summer in order to bring in new signings beyond the addition of Matheus Cunha and impending arrival of Bryan Mbeumo.
GettyRuben Amorim and Manchester United need to sell some of the deadwood before they can bring in any more signings[/caption]
It’s a situation that United have rarely found themselves in – struggling to find the funds to bring in their transfer targets.
Their financial woes are born out of a shocking campaign last term, failing to qualify for Europe for the first time since 2015.
And although they are safe with regard to FFP, United will need to sell before they can buy – backed up by chief Omar Berrada’s admission that they “are going to have to balance the books” to United We Stand.
Historically, selling isn’t something that United have been particularly good at, with The Athletic reporting that club insiders have described departures as “an afterthought” in the past.
While United have made just £105.5m in profit from player sales over the past five years, a figure dwarfed by the £508.6m and £435.8m that Chelsea and Man City have made in the same period.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe also revealed that the club will have to foot an £89m bill this summer to pay off deals for players already at the club – including Jadon Sancho‘s 2021 switch from Borussia Dortmund.
There’s plenty of players United can try and move on to raise funds for new incomings, but actually finding buyers is proving much more difficult.
The Athletic claim that Old Trafford execs are struggling to find a market for forgotten man Tyrell Malacia, who spent the second half of last season on loan with PSV – ultimately winning the Eredivisie.

Malacia is surplus to requirements under Ruben Amorim, but there doesn’t exactly appear to be a queue of clubs waiting to take him away from Manchester on a permanent exit.
Jadon Sancho is another player that United would like to try and move on, but his mammoth wages are making things difficult.
Alejandro Garnacho is understood to be on a much lower wage, meaning he could drum up more interest in a permanent exit and a hefty fee.
It’s reported that United would like £70m for Garnacho, but it could be hard to command such a fee when it is clear the Argentine has no place in the squad under Amorim.
Should he leave for £70m, he will become United’s second highest sale in the club’s history – a damning example of how poor they have managed their departures over the years.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains the club’s record sale, sealing his move to Real Madrid in 2009 for £80m.
While Romelu Lukaku’s £63m switch to Inter Milan and Angel Di Maria’s £53m departure to PSG are the only other exits that exceeded the £50m mark.
Historic transfers such as David Beckham’s Real Madrid exit and Jaap Staam’s 2001 move to Lazio still remain in the top 10 departures decades on from their completions.
While recent switches for Dan James, Scott McTominay and Mason Greenwood are also in the top 10.
