Ellen Tuffy, Chairperson of Down Syndrome Limerick said, “Dunnes Stores in Ireland have a strong record of supporting people with Down syndrome, not only by raising awareness but also offering employment to people and producing a line of clothing specially designed and adapted for people with disabilities, making shopping at their stores an inclusive experience.”

“We wish to thank the management and staff at all the stores outlets in Limerick.  A special thank you to the staff in the Jetland Shopping Centre who looked after our members and helped them choose the beautiful outfits for the photo shoot.  Also they wish to acknowledge the talented Miriam Garcia Mortell from Life In Focus for the wonderful photographs.  Well done to the supermodels, the members themselves,  each of whom is amazing!”
