See pictures - McDonalds’ off to a great start with Naas' first 24-hour drive through in Naas

McDonalds is said to have had a great start in Naas, having just opened Naas' first 24-hour drive through yesterday.

Opened at Monread Shopping Centre in the town, the unit has  created much employment in its midst. McDonald's HQ remained tight-lipped on figures, though a clearer picture is likely to emerge closer to the official launch date on 14^th November.
