Banner victory for Supermacs

A takeaway order with a difference landed Supermac’s in court yesterday. However, the fast food restaurant group emerged with a tasty victory after the hearing.

Pat McDonagh appeared at Galway District Court after Galway City Council summoned his company, Supermac’s Ireland Ltd, for illegally displaying a banner congratulating the Galway camogie team on their 2013 All-Ireland championship win.

Solicitor for the council, Edward Molloy, said Supermac’s was in breach of local planning laws which prohibited the erection of advertising banners or signs on buildings.
