The Irish Examiner reported that the applicant, McDonald’s Restaurants of Ireland Ltd, intended to operate the outlet seven days a week. The development plans on the 0.4-hectare site featured a dual-lane drive-thru, 35 car parking spaces, eight electric vehicle charging points, and a 12-metre totem sign. [1]
