Fast food chain McDonald's has announced that all its drive-throughs nationwide have reopened.
The company took the decision to close all stores early in the pandemic to protect staff and allow for social distancing measures to be put in place.
Many farmers will welcome the news that the chain is reopening. McDonald’s is one of the largest exporters of Irish beef by volume, with the company spending €163m on Irish produce for export to its restaurants across the UK and Europe.
It purchases about 40,000t of Irish beef annually. One in every five burgers sold in its outlets across Europe is of Irish origin.
