McDonald's has confirmed that prices are set to rise in Ireland for a number of popular items - including cheeseburgers and some Chicken McNuggets.
The rising cost of living that affects millions of people across Ireland is also hitting businesses, with the iconic fast food chain the latest to introduce increases.
Products which will see a price increase include the cheeseburger and some breakfast items
In an email to customers, McDonald's UK and Ireland CEO said Alistair Macrow: "We know things are tough right now. We’re living through incredibly challenging times and we’re all seeing the cost of everyday items, such as food and energy, increase in a way many of us have never experienced.
"Just like you, our company, our franchisees who own and operate our restaurants, and our suppliers are all feeling the impact of rising inflation. Today’s pressures mean, like many, we are having to make some tough choices about our prices.
"This summer, our restaurants will be adding between 10p and 20p to a number of the menu items impacted most by inflation"
The price of a cheeseburger will go from €1.50 to €1.70, while other items affected include:
- McDonald's breakfast items
- Main meals
- Large coffees
- McNugget shareboxes
- 'Go Large' options
However, items that will not see rises include:
- Salads,
- wraps,
- Chicken mayo.
"Some prices remain unaffected, and some will continue to vary across our restaurants. We understand that any price increases are not good news, but we have delayed and minimised these changes for as long as we could.
"We will continue to listen to what you want from us and work tirelessly to find solutions to today’s cost challenges affecting our business." Macrow concluded.
