A DELIGHTED shopper has found the perfect jacket at Dunnes Stores – and said “it’s giving Yellowstone”.
As we head into spring, it’s the perfect time to stock up on a rainproof coat ideal for walking.
And the cream coat that happy shopper Michelle found is no exception.
She took to social media to show off the jacket by sharing a try-on video on TikTok.
Michelle, who goes by @michelles.mirror, said: “It’s giving Yellowstone in Dunnes Stores.”
She added: “I’d fit right in.”
The TV series Yellowstone has been a huge hit with viewers since it aired in 2022.
Starring Kevin Costner, it’s set on a North American ranch complete with all the trappings of cowboy culture.
Michelle’s find is perfect for the theme, featuring a tan color with a brown collar.
It’s ideal for walking in the spring and can be worn with jeans for a put together outdoor look.
However, there is one major drawback for fans of the coat; it cannot be found online on the Dunnes Stores website.
However, hopeful shoppers shouldn’t lose hope yet—a few lucky shoppers might find the item hidden on the racks in store.
It’s not the only jacket from Dunnes Stores that fans are sure to love.
The bargain shop has had shoppers in a frenzy over whole new collections.
One particularly popular item is the hooded quilted coat, which recently launched in stores across Ireland.
The coat is perfect for spring as it is rain resistant but also lightweight.
It features a diamond pattern design as well as a high collar for added warmth.
To make it even more ideal for walking, the coat has two handy front pockets.
Plus, it is priced at just €35, making it a cut above some raincoats which sell for over €50.
It’s available in sizes XS up to XXL.
An official description of the item reads: “Designed for comfort and functionality, this coat boasts a sonic quilted design that adds a contemporary touch to your winter wardrobe.
“The funnel neck, attached fleece-lined hood, and fleece-lined pockets provide extra warmth and protection against chilly winds.”
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.
TWO extremely rare 2p coins that might be worth up to £1,000 could be sitting in your wallet right now.
The Royal Mint manufactures an average of two billion coins a year – and now and then there are production errors.
These errors actually make the coins highly valuable for collectors.
TikTok user @coincollectingwizard has shared two of the errors you should look out for on your 2p coins that could make you a small fortune…
The 2p coin was originally minted from bronze, but since 1992 it’s been made with copper-plated steel.
That gives it its distinctive copper look.
However a small number of 2ps have accidentally been minted on the same base as the silver 10p coin.
They are therefore silver as they have been manufactured with nickel-plated steel.
If you find a silver 2p coin, you’re in luck as it could sell for more than £1,000.
Back in 2016, a silver 2p sold for £1,350 – which is 67,500 times its face value.
It was nearly thrown away as a presumed fake after it was discovered in a Poppy Appeal tin.
Another rare 2p is the 1983 ‘New Pence’ coin.
Between 1971 and 1981, all 2p coins were struck with the words ‘New Pence’ on their reverse.
Since 1982 this inscription has been replaced with the word ‘Two Pence’.
But in 1983 a small number of coins were mistakenly struck with the wording ‘New Pence’ on the reverse.
The Royal Mint says these coins were “produced to brilliant uncirculated quality”, meaning they are a standard higher than most coins in circulation.
They were also included in special sets intended for collectors.
Since there aren’t many of these error coins in circulation, collectors will want to get their hands on them.
One of the most collectable coins is the 50p.
Among the most valuable of these is the Kew Gardens design, which was created in 2009.
Only 210,000 of these special coins were made.
According to The Royal Mint, the Kew Gardens 50p has become one of the most talked about collectors coins in the last 15 years.
One recently sold on eBay for £157.
Other 50ps to look out for are the Olympic designs.
These were released by the Royal Mint in 2011 to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Some are more rare than others, but all are becoming increasingly difficult to find in your change.
It’s worth remembering that a rare coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
They might be happy to pay more if it will complete their collection, for example.
The Royal Mint has said it is unable to comment on the value of any individual coin so it is best to consult a coin dealer.
You can do this by contacting the British Numismatic Trade Association.
You can visit their website at: www.bnta.net.
If you want to get an idea of how much your coin is worth, you can look online to see what it’s sold for previously.
On eBay you can look at the “sold listings” to see what people have paid before.
THE staircase in Hutch gangster James ‘Mago’ Gately’s home was removed before officers seized the home today after it was declared the proceeds of crime.
CAB officers moved in on the north Dublin property after Gately – who the Kinahans tried to kill twice in 2017 – along with his partner Charlene Lam and three children had been ordered to vacate it by today.
However they had to draft in ladders to get up to the second floor of the house because the staircase was missing.
The expensive front gates on the driveway were also taken away before it was officially seized.
The couple were tackled by the bureau in a long running case stretching back to 2021, with Mr Justice Alexander Owens declaring that they spent their “exotic lifestyle” in airport terminals and on luxury cruises in trips funded by criminal cash.
They were stripped of the family home at 77 Glin Drive in Coolock – which was “overwhelmingly” the proceeds of crime – a 132 VW Golf and a plush €4,400 Rolex.
The confiscated assets – worth around €600,000 – will now be sold and the proceeds will be handed back to the exchequer.
Globetrotting thug Gately, 38, first bought the house in 2013 for €125,000 but was upgraded and renovated for a cost of up to €440,000 with a large two-story extension at the back, with the judge describing it as a “very high standard” renovation.
The house was “radically” reconfigured, with a new fitted kitchen and an island, along with a solar panel on the roof, installed. The house was also replumbed and rewired with a new heating system put in.
The front and the rear gardens were landscaped and a new rear patio was laid outside. It had been fitted with a reinforced door and CCTV throughout.
They also lived an “exotic lifestyle” and they were virtually never in the State, Mr Justice Owens said.
He added that they spent their time in airport terminals or on cruises on the South Seas and on the Caribbean.
Some of the couple’s trips included a three-week cruise to Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea and Japan in 2018, the Caribbean the year beforehand, while other holidays in 2021 saw the pair jet to Barcelona in Spain and Lisbon in Portugal.
Other luxury spending included jewellery and plastic surgery.
The judge examined bank accounts from 2013 to 2019 and he said the mortgage payments made up until that point were found to be the proceeds of crime.
He had previously ruled that Ms Lam should be paid €5,000 in relation to proceeds of the sale for her legitimate payments on the mortgage.
It was argued that she paid €16,000 since 2019 in mortgage payments that she also wants returned.
In submissions to the High Court, CAB said that Gately is a leading member of the Hutch Organised Crime Gang, involved in armed robberies and importation of drugs.
Gately was the subject of two assassination attempts by the Kinahans in April and May 2017.
CAB also submitted to the High Court that he was involved in a number of armed robberies himself.
It alleged that he was linked to a number of murders, including that of Aidan Byrne and Eamon ‘The Don’ Dunne in 2010 along with the killing of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in 2016.
Gately was never convicted of any of these offences.
ERLING HAALAND could miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.
The Norwegian striker suffered the injury in Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in their FA Cup semi-final clash last Saturday.
He underwent scans on Monday to assess the severity of the injury but was sent for additional checks with a specialist.
And the specialist has ruled out the former Borussia Dortmund man for the next SEVEN WEEKS.
City boss Pep Guardiola said of the injury: “The doctors told me between five and seven weeks [out].
“So hopefully for the end of season and FIFA Club World Cup he will be ready.”
