I was in Grafton Street McDonald’s lately and noticed this, nice touch, small things like this are important as they keep the language in the public eye, Irish surrounds us all and no matter what proficiency in it we have it belongs to us all, it is our language, and as Irish people we need to do whatever we can to protect, preserve and promote it.

  5. Are you sure? We have had that in Belfast for years.. as least since Covid.

  8. Ah good old McMurders! Love to wash down one of their delicious hamburgers with some genocide juice fresh from the tap. Great to see them embrace the language!

  10. I would have put something like

    Ith anseo
    Tóg leat é

    I don’t think I have seen “le dul” in the wild. Overall, it looks like a Google translate word for word attempt with bad grammar.

    I’m not so grateful to see Irish that I accept garbage low effort pandering.

    It’s a few small words. Would it have killed them to pay for a professional translation or at least ask a fluent speaker. This is sad. Tokenism and low effort at that.

  11. Not doing it incase they make me read Peig via some
    pop up. I know the tricks.

  12. Unrelated but I was wondering does the McDonald’s App work in Ireland?

  14. An bhfuil “le dul” an Gaeilge ar “Take out”? Nó cibé phrás a bhfuil ann.

  16. Took way too long for this, up North I believe they had Polish offered as an option too in some self service kiosks.

  17. Unrelated/related note – those screens are proven to be covered in fecal matter because ppl don’t wash their hands 😬

  20. Haven’t been to McDonald’s since 2023 cause I was sick of seeing their ads everywhere .

    The beacons of Minas Tirith have been lit and 6 nuggets & a Big Mac meal shall be enjoyed once more.

  21. Any way to make money. “So guys we could probably make greater revenue in this area if we give them the option to use a kiosk in the local language?”
