McDonald’s Irish operation generates profits of €11m

THE Irish operation of international fast food giant McDonald’s generated after-tax profits of €11.1 million last year, according to its latest accounts.

That figure was down marginally on 2009, when the Irish division of the restaurant chain recorded profits of €11.5m.

Turnover for 2010 amounted to €85m, meanwhile, with management pleased with results given the harsh economic climate.
