McDonald’s to beef up its business

THEIR menus might raise questions about diet and nutrition, but there is no doubting the health of their finances.

McDonald’s Restaurants of Ireland yesterday announced major expansion plans, promising 280 permanent and part-time jobs this year as part of an investment of €9.5 million.

McDonald’s serves around 150,000 people a day in its Irish restaurants, equivalent to more than 54 million a year.
