A local authority spent more than €10,000 on a reception for Prince Charles and Camilla, including €30 on two Dunnes Stores cushions so the royal couple would know where to sit.

The Dunnes Stores cushions have since found a new home after being auctioned off for €150 at the Mayor’s Charity Ball to help raise money for charity.
