A new Limerick Gift Card has launched as part of efforts to support local businesses by locking in spending and attracting new spending to the county. Backed by Limerick City and County Council and Limerick Chamber, the gift card is available as either a physical gift card or an e-card that can be added to digital wallets. Cards can be spent in the city and surrounding towns, including Newcastle West, Adare, Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock and Rathkeale. Over 140 businesses, including independent businesses and well-known Irish brands such as Penneys and Brown Thomas, accept the new Limerick Gift Card. John Moran, Mayor of Limerick said: "Local retail businesses are key to a vibrant Limerick. They provide essential shopping and services, employment and broader support in our communities. But it is not a one-way street. They need our support too. A little adjustment by each of us in how we spend this Christmas will make a huge collective difference to them. These innovative cards make that easy for us all! Please think local this year!" The Limerick Gift Card is part of the multi-award winning Town & City Gift Card concept active across Ireland in Ballinrobe, Carndonagh, Drogheda, Letterkenny, Sligo and Waterford. Over €7 million Town & City Gift Cards were sold in Ireland in 2023, with around 80% of sales to organisations for staff rewards and incentives. Newly launched technology from Miconex allows Irish organisations to distribute digital Limerick Gift Cards to their staff, clients and customers online to multiple participants at once, immediately or on a future date. Liam Dwan, manager of Brown Thomas said it's a card for everyone: "Brown Thomas is located on O'Connell Street at the centre of Limerick's main shopping district and as one of Ireland's leading department stores, we were keen to get involved with the Limerick Gift Card. What's great about the card is the choice on offer. With one card, recipients can go shopping in Limerick's best stores, grab a bite to eat or a coffee, or even stay over. It's a card that caters for everyone." Penneys store manager Noel McNamara adds: "Penneys Limerick is delighted to be collaborating with fellow Limerick businesses on this exciting new gift card for our city and county. People often visit the city for the high street stores, but will stay to discover other businesses too, and this has a positive impact on everyone. We know from our own Penneys gift cards that people spend over and above the value on the cards, all benefiting our local economy and helping Limerick to thrive." Alongside city businesses, a range of Limerick county businesses are participating in the program, like Isobel's Boutique in Adare. Kay Mulcaire is the owner of the store and said the card is straightforward and appealing: "The fact you can buy a digital version of the card which can be added to digital wallets is fantastic. Lots of people pay using their phones now, so it makes supporting local really convenient. It's also ideal for last-minute gifts, as people can buy the digital card online and send it to the recipient in moments. People want to support local, but it has to be easy, and the new Limerick Gift Card is straightforward and appealing." Hospitality businesses including restaurants, cafés and pubs are also accepting the card, like multi-award winning pub Mother Macs on High Street and Upper Denmark Street. Michael McMahon, owner of Mother Macs, said the card provides much-needed support for the hospitality sector: "Supporting local has always been at the heart of what we do at Mother Macs Public House, and the Limerick City Gift Card aligns perfectly with that ethos. It's a simple yet impactful way to champion our city's incredible mix of retailers, hospitality venues, and cultural gems." A range of accommodation providers are also accepting the Limerick Gift Card, like Deebert House Hotel. Margaret O'Sullivan, manager of the hotel, commented: "Nestled at the foothills of the Ballyhoura Mountains, ...

Jon Beardmore hand-delivers a postcard in Glasnevin, live on air, which he brought all the way from the Galapagos Islands. Jacqueline thinks the 60 cents Brown Thomas are charging for a paper bag is too much. Joe chats to Ruth Walsh, Jimmy Murphy & David Duffy about the funding model of the Arts Council.
Retailer Brown Thomas have defended their decision to charge 60 cent for paper bags in their stores. The charge, introduced last week, applies to the instantly recognisable Brown Thomas grey and white bags and Arnott's blue branded carriers and applies irrespective of the size of the bag a customer is given. They say that all profits from the sale of paper carrier bags will be used to support Crann – Trees for Ireland with the aim of planting 100,000 trees in Ireland over the next 10 years. What do you think about being charged for using a paper bag? People carrying a Brown Thomas bag in Dublin city centre | Image: RollingNews.ie

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Deanna Brown-Thomas, whose father was none other than Mr. Dynamite aka, The Godfather of Soul aka “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business”. We are of course talking about the legendary James Brown. When Deanna agreed to be a guest on the podcast we had no idea just how honest and forthcoming she would be talking about her father. In fact, she used the word ‘transparency' and that's exactly what our interview was like. Outspoken, honest, joyful and genuine, Deanna spoke to us about everything from what it was like meeting (or perhaps being set up with) Eddie Murphy backstage as an adult to meeting Soul Train host Don Cornelius on camera as a four year old. As we discussed on this episode, there were very few entertainers who were as well-known across the world other than James Brown and we dig into it. We also learned of James Brown 75/25 rule about show business which frankly was a life lesson we should all learn from. For a man who was known for his explosive live act, it was the school of hard knocks that made him learn that without the business, there was no show. When you work as hard as James Brown did onstage, you better believe, it was taken care of offstage. We also spoke about Deanna's career in radio, in running the James Brown Family Foundation and the James Brown Academy of Music Pupils in Augusta, Ga which provides musical education for local school children as well as a James Brown tour – the only one you can see in the world. We also learned about the James Brown estate which Deanna was very, yes transparent about.. We also discussed James Brown's role in the civil rights movement, his love of Jazz, his ownership of radio stations, what it was like behind the scenes and one subject we like to talk about - life on the road. It's sometimes not all it's cracked up to be. In fact, you might find yourself ordering room service instead of attending an afterparty on the road with her dad. You'll have to listen for yourself. Deanna was a fantastic guest, a warm and frank person who wasn't afraid to ‘go there'. So take a listen, to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and you'll see what we are talking about.

It's the 7 year itch! We scratch the surface of the upcoming season in episode 1 - 'The Return of the Pod' . After Johnny's winter in the lingerie section of Brown Thomas and Dan's Qatari World Cup adventure, not much has changed on Planet Pod. Johnny still has high hopes for Galway, Dan still reckons this is the biggest season ever, and 90's goth-pop and R&B makes the inevitable return. But to help the dynamic duo get back down to the reality of what's coming up we've asked Mark Rossiter and John Martin to help with an analysis of the comings and goings over the last few months to help predict how this season of all seasons will pan out. We swipe right on transfer tinder and the saga of Dundalk's multiple logins, we ask "Can Derry take Rovers?", we look at the return of 'older' managers to challenge Johnny's favourite law firm, and there's the Mono Stand, cash wages, a bumper bumper mailbag and an almost-epic Collar & Cuff competition. As usual by the end of the hour in studio there still isn't a concrete answer and nothing is indeed delivered. We'd bring you the truth but we reckon you couldn't handle it so you'll have to make do with the rest. It's a Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff sponsored, rascal of an opening night and other than Galway winning the First Division you'll have to make up your own mind.
Aine established The Smooth Company 11 months ago and has already achieved so much. To date, The Smooth Stick is stocked in Arnotts, Brown Thomas and has attained over 39k followers on Tiktok.

An Appointment With… A podcast series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry's best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Episode 6: Kim O'Sullivan, The Dublin Makeup Academy Makeup artist, Brow specialist, Phibrow Grand Master, Businesswoman, Mum. Today, it's a crash and a half, because Kim O'Sullivan has a waiting list of – wait for it – twenty four months, to get access to. Yes, that's two years! So, you can imagine how thrilled I was that Kim made time to sit down with me and let me delve into the recesses of her brain. We chat here about how Kim's career grew with her experience, first in retail, then into make-up when she became one of the original face designers when the Armani beauty counter opened in Brown Thomas about 20 years ago. And then… well, then the entrepreneur in Kim took hold as she started to break out and establish her own business – The Dublin Makeup Academy. About 10 years ago, Kim started to specialise in brows and through time, experience and hard work she's now A Phibrow Grand Master – one of only a handful globally. That means she's an experienced and excellent practitioner as well as an educator of brow design and semi-permanent techniques, and she continues to expand her expertise. Kim tells her story so well, sharing the highs and troughs of that non-linear journey to success along with plenty of tips on good brows, lashes, and product shout outs.

Jesse L. Brown was the US Navy's first African-American Naval Aviator. With his squadron mates, onboard the USS Leyte in VF-32, Jesse and his wingman Thomas Hudner Jr. struck up a remarkable friendship that would lead to the tragic, heroic events of the 4th December 1950. Tom Hudner's actions would earn him the Medal of Honor, and Adam Makos would write their story in his book Devotion, soon to be released as a major motion picture starring Johnathan Majors and Glen Powell.But at the EAA in Oshkosh, they found that their F4U-4 Corsair had a direct link to Tom Hudner. Joining me today is the museum programs coordinator at EAA, who was part of the team that researched the history of that Corsair that would lead to an incredible unveiling with the Brown and Hudner families.Learn more about the Experimental Aircraft Association at: https://www.eaa.org/Watch the trailer for Devotion here: https://youtu.be/NCDEGP6VjYYIf you are in the UK, you can buy Adam Makos' book, Devotion, at our Bookshop here. 10% of every sale goes to supporting the podcast, and Bookshop.org will donate to help independent bookshops in the UK, too: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/11015/9781782395775Join the fun on Patreon!

Welcome to Episode 3 of An Appointment With… A series where I crash the waiting lists of the beauty industry's best creatives and professionals, and bring you with me. Aidan Corcoran is a make-up artist, educator and beauty style advisor with the Brown Thomas group. If ever you've wandered around any of their Dublin beauty halls (or ‘Planets'), you'll undoubtedly have seen him – and his horizontal eyebrows– engaged in countless conversations, and tasks at once… that's when he's not working on shoots, shows, events or one-on-one with clients, advising them on their own perfect, bespoke beauty edit. This conversation started as a random chat over lunch at a press launch – two beauty devotees swapping thoughts and opinions on brands, products, marketing hype and more. It was too good a conversation to leave in the breadbasket, so here it continues… I've literally picked Aidan's brains raw as we trawl through the best beauty brands in makeup, skincare and fragrance. Most impressively, it was done without a single note or piece of paper – this man knows his products! If you want to cut straight to the chase, the conversation on products starts at 21.36. And if you want to know what Aidan uses himself, scroll straight to 40.52.

In this episode of My Soul Style I talk to Siadbh Duffy, founder of SIADBH, a range of ethically sourced crystal jewellery amulets.In this episode we discuss some of the murky unethical practices of the crystal industry and how Siadbh has navigated this world to work with small ethically run mines and a family that are fairly paid to cut and polish the stones in her range.We cover what are ghost and inclusions in crystals and how these so called flaws can mean many crystals are unnecessarily discarded.We also discuss how crystals are not just pretty, decorative stones, but powerful healing allies that can help support with both your emotional & physical well-being.Siadbh also shares her crystal care morning ritual and how to cleanse & programme your crystals so they can maintain their energies to support your well being. Having benefited from wearing and connecting with crystals for years, SIADBH created her collection through her desire to share this experience with others. Inspired by our ancient history crystals and gemstones play a huge part in culture of the world. Wearing Amulets was a status of honour, respect, royalty, stature and abundance. SIADBH Crystal Amulets are handcrafted in Kilkenny, Ireland using 14ct gold filled or 9ct solid gold materials to pair with each crystal. Highly aware of the vibration and frequencies crystals emit , Siadbh preforms an energy ritual on each Amulet attuning the energy to the highest vibration of love. Part of their magic is in how they feel, rough, smooth, inclusions and cracks which are all apart of their natural creation. Each crystal is designed with tactile vision in mind and to be in contact with the body. Siadbh's mission is to create Amulets that become sacred allies, accompanying the wearer on their path in life.I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too.For more information about SIADBH follow her on Instagram @siadbhBrowse & shop her collection at www.siadbh.ieSiADBH jewellery is available at CREATE in Brown Thomas, Grafton Street, Dublin 2 www.brownthomas.com until the 15th of August 2022For more on sustainable fashion & to stay in touch follow me on Instagram @roxanne_parker
