Scope and content
An Ulster Bank Limited cheque from Ben Dunne Snr. to Ben Dunne Jnr. for £100 dated 4/6/1980
This cheque was written by the late Ben Dunne Snr. to his son, but never cashed. Ben Dunne Snr. was the founder of Dunnes Stores, one of Ireland’s largest supermarket chains. The first Dunnes opened in 1944 in Cork. By 1966 the business had expanded greatly, with nine branches in Dublin, and Dunne bought two disused factories in the Dublin suburb of Cornellstown and turned them into his first supermarket.
