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.

Molly clearly had her hands full, with her other arm juggling her phone, coffee, and Bambi’s toys, including an adorable stuffed deer which is the little one’s namesake. 

The Maebe founder and fashion mogul was seen smiling with pride at her toddler, who is now firmly on her feet and walking. 

The pair matched in co-ord tracksuits, with Bambi keeping warm in an olive green puffer jacket while Molly wore a brown corduroy jacket.  

Rumours have been rife since New Year’s that Molly has reunited with her Love Island love Tommy following their shock split last year. 

Despite this, the couple were spotted kissing at a party to celebrate the turn of the New Year, and were later caught on a romantic Valentine’s Day trip together last week. 

Molly has also been spotted with a ‘B’ diamond ring on her wedding finger, an initial for her daughter. 

A source told The Sun: “Tommy’s pulling out all the stops and whisking Molly away for a night to somewhere they’ve stayed before in happier times.

“He’s clearly hoping it’ll work its magic on Valentine’s night and she’ll remember how happy they used to be.” 

The couple were engaged to be married when Molly broke the news they had gone their separate ways after four years. 

In the first part of her new warts-and-all Prime Video documentary, Molly Mae: Behind It All, Molly revealed Tommy’s problems with alcohol were behind their split.

As a result, her friends and family are concerned that they’re now working on their relationship.

A source told The Sun: “Molly-Mae’s closest friends and members of her family think this is a terrible idea and that it is all going to end in tears again.

“Zoe [Molly’s sister] is fiercely protective and will never forget what Tommy put her through, let alone forgive him

“They have been waving the red flags but Molly-Mae is staunchly independent and is pushing on regardless.

“As far as she is concerned, Tommy is the love of her life and the story ends with them being together. No matter what.

“It is a nightmare for those around her to watch. They fear it will crash and burn. For them it’s not a case of if it implodes again, it’s a case of when.”

WHILE temperatures might be rising, wet weather means that hanging our clothes on the washing line isn’t an option for many of us. 

However, drying clothes inside can seem like an expensive option as many of us will reach for the thermostat to get our garments drier quicker.

But, Adam Clark at My Local Toolbox says there are ways to get your laundry dry without the help of a radiator.

Here he reveals five ways to dry your clothes faster without turning up the heating.

Rectify the Damp

Damp walls increase clothes’ drying time as the room’s humidity level is heightened.

When walls are damp, they release additional moisture into the air, reducing the difference between the moisture content of the fabric and the surrounding air. 

This slows down the evaporation process.

Areas with damp walls often have poor ventilation, which can trap moisture in the space. This can lower the temperature of the surrounding air, which in turn reduces evaporation time.

If the weather permits, open the windows to improve ventilation. A dehumidifier will extract water from the air and speed up the drying process.

Avoid hanging clothes near damp walls; choose areas with better air circulation and drier surfaces for hanging laundry.

By permanently rectifying the damp and you can create an environment more conducive to drying clothes efficiently.

Get Ahead of the Drying Process

You can increase the speed at which your clothes dry before leaving the washing machine. Most washing machines include a functionality that allows users to adjust spin cycles. 

Opting for a high-speed spin means excess water is extracted from the clothes. 

Although this may make clothes feel slightly rigid, drying time is often halved. If you wash delicate fabrics, a second spin cycle may be a better option, as a faster spin may harm sensitive fabrics.

DIY (Drying) Station

Drying clothes requires good airflow throughout the space, whether winter or summer. Avoid draping clothes across radiators and set up a drying station that encourages consistent air circulation.

Place a fan near the space where you are drying the clothes. This will ensure that air circulates evenly around the room.

For an even faster drying time, use a dehumidifier to decrease the moisture in the air while increasing circulation.

Roll Clothes in a Towel Before Drying

The towel method requires a person to place a towel on a flat surface with the garment on top. 

Roll the towel tightly with the clothes inside and gently press so that the water absorbs into the towel. Then, hang your clothes as usual. Avoid using dark towels with light clothing as colour may transfer.

Leave Some Space

It can be tempting to overpack your drying rack to save space. This will likely increase the drying time, especially if you have overlapped each garment on the airer.

Turning the clothes inside out before placing them in the airer often makes them dry faster.

The driver of the motorcycle, also aged in his 20s, has been left in a “critical condition” and was rushed to the Mater Hospital.

A male passenger of the quad bike, also aged in his 20s, was injured but the injuries were not deemed as life-threatening.
