McDonald’s turns in a healthy Irish performance with pre-tax profit rise

THE Irish arm of fast food giant McDonald’s last year increased its pre-tax profits to €14.8 million in spite of an 8% drop in revenues to €85m.

Documents just filed with the Companies Office show that McDonald’s Restaurants of Ireland Ltd’s pre-tax profits increased by 1.7% from €14.6m to €14.8m to the end of December last.

The accounts show the company’s revenues dropped by 8% from €92.9m to €85.2m during the 12-month period.
