A well-known Dublin shop has been hailed as "legendary" after an extraordinary act of kindness involving an old gift voucher.
The Louis Copeland & Sons shop located on Capel Street in Dublin city centre accepted a 15-year-old voucher from a customer for €250 off a suit from the flagship store "with a smile". Taking to Twitter, Paul O'Kane explained how the voucher was lost for 15 years, before it was found and accepted in recent days by the tailors at Louis Copeland.
He wrote on Twitter: "This voucher is almost 15 years old. I reckoned I’d lost it, but then it turned up in a box. It moved house with us & was mislaid again. Despite being older than 2 of my children,@louis_copeland accepted it with a smile. Proper shop, wonderful service."

Earlier this week, a Centra store in East Wall was praised after it offered to be a safe space for children in emergencies. Children who find themselves locked out of the house, who missed the school bus and have no credit to call their parents, will now be able to call their parents to pick them up by going to their local Centra shop.
