A spokesperson of Nando’s said: 'Unfortunately, we don’t have any current plans to open a halal restaurant in Ireland at this time due mainly to the lack of viable halal chicken supply.' File picture: Nick Bradshaw

An online petition signed by Irish Muslims is calling on fast-food restaurants to incorporate halal in their menus. The petition has attracted over 1,000 signatures to date.
