McDonald’s is creating 800 new jobs across the country including at its restaurants in Carlow and Kilkenny.
McDonald’s says the roles are being created due to staff capacity increasing in the coming months with the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
The Tanaiste Leo Varadkar says the announcement is a “welcome boost” and it’s “extremely positive” to see companies like McDonald’s planning for expansion and growing its workforce.
The jobs will bring the company’s total workforce in Ireland to almost 6,000.
