THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl's first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.

Wedding expert weighs in on public marriage proposals as they trend online

Public marriage proposals seem to be the new trend after a hopeful groom-to-be got down on one knee at a packed-out Mayo pub and another at an Oasis gig in Cardiff. As Taylor Swift-mania took place across the globe last year with her Eras tour, lovers also popped the question as she sang her hit Love Story. But it isn't just regular folk putting on these public displays. Earlier this week, Kelly Osbourne's partner Sid Wilson surprised the star with a dazzling rock at her father Ozzy Osbourne's concert in Birmingham. The whole clan were in attendance, so the Slipknot star thought it the perfect time to pop the question. But, are these public proposals a romantic way to show your spouse how much you love them, or is it all done for social media views? Wedding expert and co-founder of SaveMyDay Shell Holden thinks they can be incredibly special but only when it reflects the couple's personality. She told the Irish Mirror: "For some, there's nothing more romantic than declaring love in front of a crowd, especially in a place that holds meaning, like a festival where they've made memories together or a concert of their favourite band. "For others, a quiet, private moment will feel more authentic. So really, it all comes down to knowing your partner and what would make them feel most comfortable. "Whether it's a big surprise moment on stage or a quiet gesture in the crowd amongst their friends or between the couple together, it's about knowing your partner and creating a memory that feels true to you both." While public proposals are getting some attention at the moment, getting down on one knee in front of a crowd is nothing new. From Irish country favourite Garth Brooks proposing to his wife Trisha at a statue-unveiling event, to the Rose of Tralee proposal that nearly went wrong, here are some of the most memorable: In May 2005, the country music star put on quite the show at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace, a music hall in Bakersfield, California. Garth was in attendance at the star-studded Legends in Bronze event, where a statue of him and nine other country icons was displayed. When his bronze art piece was unveiled, it featured a conspicuous wedding band on the left ring finger. It was then that Garth popped the question to his wife-to-be Trisha. Despite being put on the spot, she appeared shocked but delighted, saying: "All I can say is that I am so happy". After being together since 1987, they tied the knot in December 2005, and have been together since. While the Rose of Tralee has had some viral moments over the years, no one in Ireland will forget the marriage proposal that almost went terribly wrong. During the 2013 competition, New Orleans Rose Molly Molloy Gambel was given the shock of her life. Her partner Kyle surprised her while she was on stage and dropped to his knee with a sparkler in his hand. Everyone in the country was on the edge of their seats then as she said: "No, no, no, no, no, no. Please don't. No." It seemed like poor Kyle was being dumped on live television. However, the New Orleans Rose was just extremely shocked and managed to let out a "yes" before trembling off the stage. It's no surprise that the controversial rapper went big when he popped the question to his reality star girlfriend. In October 2013, Kanye proposed to Kim on her 33rd birthday at AT&T Park in San Francisco. A 50-piece orchestra played Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful as fireworks went off. The scoreboard read "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!" and Kanye presented his wife-to-be with a sparkling 15-carat diamond ring. While they share four children, their marriage didn't last as they got divorced three years ago. Three months ago, Brendan planned the perfect proposal for his girlfriend Cat in Galway city. He enlisted the help of local busker Echo Harte who sang Beautiful Affair by Stockton's Wing as the couple walked by. Having no idea it was for her, Cat can be heard on video saying "I love this song". It was at that moment that Brendan dropped to his knee and cheers could be heard from passers-by as Cat said yes. While getting down on one knee during Taylor Swift's Love Story at her Eras tour became quite the trend, it was a very special moment for one couple. Tipperary lovers Jack Shealy and Melissa Keogh flew home to Ireland from Canada to see the pop star perform at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last year. But little did Melissa know that the night would be so much more special than seeing the singer. During Love Story, when Taylor sang, "He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring" Jack did just that. Other concert-goers captured the gorgeous moment, and Melissa of course said yes - just like Juliet in the song.

The Irish reading roadtrip: Aoife Barry's literary tour of the Emerald Isle

Every Irish writer takes their hometown with them to the page, whether that influence is obvious or not. Some of our finest writers dwell in the world of imagination, like Brian Friel, who spun the town of Ballybeg out of memories of childhood summers in Glenties, Donegal. Aoife Barry has gathered 15 books to sum up Ireland's modern literary age. Photograph Moya Nolan Others stick to reality, creating a universe of characters who can live in a range of Irish locations, like Anne Enright. So why not take a 'reading roadtrip' around Ireland, and experience life in different counties without leaving your house? We've gathered a mix of 15 contemporary favourites and new novels together to help you begin the journey around the island of Ireland. Antrim The Raptures by Jan Carson (2022) Ballymena-born author Jan Carson excels in writing fiction with a magic realism twist, and this is her at the peak of her powers. The Raptures is set in Ballylack, a fictional small village inspired by the Ballymena (and surrounding areas) that Carson grew up in. Something strange begins happening in Ballylack in 1993 to young pupils in the village school. At the centre of the story is a young girl called Hannah, who escapes a mystery illness but finds herself visited by her dead classmates. A gripping and astute novel that brings us into the world of evangelical Protestantism and explores its impact on young people. Belfast The Benefactors by Wendy Erskine The Benefactors by Wendy Erskine (2025) One of this year's best novels comes from Belfast's Wendy Erskine, who is already well-known as a stellar short story writer. In The Benefactors, we meet Frankie, Miriam and Bronagh, three mothers whose lives collide when their teenage sons are accused of a crime. While the main plot might be dark, Erskine is always able to bring a shimmering levity to her work, and the novel is crammed full of amazing characters. Plus, she also creates a Greek chorus of Belfast voices that paint a multifaceted picture of the city. Simply stunning. Clare The Green Road - Anne Enright (2015) The Madigan children were all brought up by their mother Rosaleen in a house called Ardeevin in Co Clare. In The Green Road, Anne Enright - one of the country's finest writers, and the inaugural Laureate for Irish Fiction - lets the Madigans tell their stories as the grown-up children head back for a last Christmas at their childhood home. There's so much here to enjoy about the various Madigans and their foibles and struggles, as well as the humour Enright injects into so many of the situations (particularly around how she depicts Celtic Tiger excesses). While she journeys throughout the globe in this novel, the north star for this story is the family's Co Clare home. Cork The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue. The Rachel Incident by Caroline O'Donoghue (2023) This funny, perceptive book about a close friendship between two students (one a relatively wild young woman and the other a closeted young man) captures Cork city in the 2000s perfectly. O'Donoghue, who grew up in Rochestown, creates utterly real characters - the book is partly based on a friendship of hers - who bumble their way carelessly through life as they try to figure out how to live as adults. This is a real time machine back to a Cork of a certain era. Channel 4 is currently adapting the book into a TV series. Carlow Dinner Party: A Tragedy by Sarah Gilmartin (2021) Although Sarah Gilmartin is from Limerick, her first novel is set between Carlow and Dublin. This is a family saga that moves between past and present, opening and closing with a family dinner party. At the centre of the story is Kate, who is holding the dinner party to mark the 16th anniversary of her sister's death. Regardless of where in the country you read this, you'll find much that's compelling in the story of this fractious Carlow family. Donegal The Boy from the Sea by Garrett Carr (2025) 'We were a hardy people, raised facing the Atlantic.' So opens this debut novel from Garrett Carr, set in the fishing port of Killybegs in Co Donegal. This epic part of Ireland's coast is a fitting location to set a book about something as dramatic as the discovery of a baby alive in a barrel. Lyrical, moving and full of beautiful descriptions of nature, this is a novel that brings us right into life in rural Donegal. Dublin Youth by Kevin Curran (2023) There are countless books you could read to give you a sense of Dublin past and present - from Dubliners by James Joyce, to Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney, to The Commitments by Roddy Doyle. But to get a glimpse of an underexplored part of suburban Dublin, try Youth by Kevin Curran. This polyphonic novel, set in Balbriggan (where Curran is an English teacher in the local secondary school) is a propulsive, empathic book centred on the voices of four young people growing up in the town, each dealing with their own issues. Galway Let Me Go Mad In My Own Way, by Elaine Feeney Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way by Elaine Feeney (2025) The latest novel from Elaine Feeney is set, like her previous two novels, in her home county of Galway. Let Me Go Mad in My Own Way (which takes its name from the Sophocles play Electra) is a story about home, about memories that linger and family ghosts that still haunt. At its opening, Claire O'Connor is living in London. But soon she is back home in Co Galway, dealing with the loss of her mother and caring for her dying father. Through Claire's story, Feeney deftly moves through Irish history and examines the reasons why people have such strong links to the land. This is a book that contains multitudes (and trad wives). Kerry Haven by Emma Donoghue (2022) The Skellig islands are one of Ireland's true wonders, not just because of their beauty but because of their sheer, raw power. The idea of people living on Skellig Michael seems absolutely unbelievable, which is why Donoghue's novel is so interesting. Haven tells the story of three monks who set off from Clonmacnoise to make their home there in early medieval times. She explores in fascinating detail exactly what it took to live that remotely - those who aren't into eating seabirds, look away. Kildare Snowflake by Louise Nealon (2021) Though you might consider this a 'Trinity novel', as the protagonist Debbie goes to the university in Dublin, it's partly set in Kildare. Debbie lives on a dairy farm with her mother and uncle, and it's these scenes that give this book its emotional heft. Rather than being the typical story of someone who decamps to Dublin for college, Snowflake draws its tension from Debbie returning each evening to her eccentric and at times difficult life at home. Nealon herself grew up in Kildare, so you never have to doubt her love for the county. Laois There Came A-Tapping by Andrea Carter (2025) Thriller fans will find plenty to be spooked about in this standalone novel from Andrea Carter. Her Inishowen series sees her focus on the activities of a solicitor based in Donegal, but in There Came-A-Tapping she brings us to Laois, and specifically the foot of the Slieve Bloom mountains. The beauty of the area becomes threatening as a heartbroken Allie moves into a tiny cottage to try and cope with the disappearance of her partner. Carter grew up in the area, so is well able to mine its dark sides - as well as the more lovely sides of rural life. But you might not look at a raven the same way after reading this. Mayo Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh Fun and Games by John Patrick McHugh (2025) Admittedly, this is set on a fictional island off the coast of Co Mayo. But there's so much to Fun and Games that feels utterly real - its depiction of island life, how the 17-year-old protagonist John Masterson tries to figure out love and relationships while hanging out with friends, working shifts in the local hotel and going to GAA practice. This is a trip to the west coast but it's also a trip back to those heady, unforgettable teenage years. Tipperary The Spinning Heart by Donal Ryan (2013) Donal Ryan is a native of Nenagh, Co Tipperary, and it's in North Tipperary that he set his first novel, a series of stories told by locals from a small town. Set just after the recession, this captures all the heartbreak and confusion of that time, but is deeply rooted in the individual voices of those he focuses on, from single mother Réaltín who lives on a ghost estate to Vasya, a Siberian worker learning about life in Ireland. Nature always features massively in Ryan's work, as it's through the changing of the seasons and the tiny details among the hedgerows that he often finds meaning. Wexford Nora Webster by Colm Tóibín (2014) Enniscorthy native Colm Tóibín has returned frequently to his hometown in his novels, and it would be easy to pick Brooklyn or his latest novel Long Island to showcase the vivid stories he conjures from the area. But one of his most heartbreaking books is Nora Webster, about the titular character trying to get her life back together after her husband dies. There is a real truth to how Tóibín captures the comfort and drama of living in a small town, where everyone knows your business before you even know yourself. Waterford The Amusements by Aingeala Flannery The Amusements by Aingeala Flannery (2022) Welcome to Tramore in the Sunny South East, a place that will immediately lead to images of funfairs and summer craic. This all lies in the background of Aingeala Flannery's debut novel, which is a series of interlinked stories about life in the town, featuring characters who move in and out of the foreground. With such a wide variety of stories, you really feel that you get to experience life in Tramore, both good and bad. Flannery is a native of the town, meaning she captures many small details that others might not notice.

Wedding of the Week: Cork couple Emma and Cian's dream big day in Kerry castle

CORK couple Emma Barry Murphy and Cian Griffin said their 'I do's' and held their reception at Ballyseede Castle Hotel, Co Kerry. Emma, from Wellington Road, and Cian, from Carrigrohane, were married by celebrant Jessica Bradley in the castle belfry. 'Jessica made the entire ceremony so enjoyable — there was plenty of laughing going on,' says Emma. Emma Barry Murphy and Cian Griffin.

'We're beyond lucky to have had our grandparents in attendance,' says the bride. Emma's sister Lauren Barry Murphy jetted home from Melbourne to be her maid of honour and her friends Cliodhna Kelly, Kate English and Robyn King were the bridesmaids.

Emma and Cian met through mutual friends in December 2021. 'We had our first date in the Sin E bar,' she says. 'We got engaged on Barleycove Beach, West Cork, in the torrential rain on August 4, 2023.' Led by one of the castle wolfhounds, Emma Barry Murphy and her dad Kieran Barry Murphy and bridal party Lauren Barry Murphy, Cliodhna Kelly, Kate English, and Robyn King walk to the belfry aisle.

Not only was it just magical and stunning, but it was clear the team there were total professionals at running a wedding. We wanted a civil ceremony, not because we're against the church, but because it would be more 'us'.

They were amazing from the minute we landed there to the minute we left. And of course, the dogs of Ballyseede were a huge part of the weekend, especially Dolan, their youngest Irish wolfhound, who was often to be found in my bridal suite.' The wolfhounds at Ballyseede Castle added to the occasion for Emma Barry Murphy and Cian Griffin.

'My hair was done by Emma Fitzgibbon, owner of Hygge Hair in Douglas, and my makeup was done by Annette O'Brien — they were both so fabulous!' says Emma.

'Shane and Maurice really contributed to the fun and relaxed vibes,' says Emma. Tie the Knot created the impressive décor and music was also important to the couple. 'The amazing Lorna Moore performed our ceremony music and I was blown away,' adds Emma. 'The wedding band, which also provided our reception music and DJ, was the wonderful Black Tye. Our first dance song was Kylie Minogue's 'Love at First Sight'.' Emma Barry Murphy with her dad Kieran Barry Murphy.

'It might sound kind of niche but one of Cian's party pieces at other wedding 'day twos' is to perform 'You're so Vain' by Carly Simon and so when he stood up and performed it for us at the end of the speeches and it really got the crowd going!' says Emma. The newlyweds, who live in Ballincollig, honeymooned in Mallorca. Emma Barry Murphy and Cian Griffin.
