My example is someone who i have always admired.Pat McDonagh,a former school teacher,the man behind the Supermacs Fast Food Chain.In 1978 at the tender age of 23 he started out his first fast food outlet in Ballinasloe,Co.Galway after being refused planning for a Pool Hall on the same site.He grew from strength to strength from here.Today,Supermac's boasts a turnover in excess of €83m and has over 2,500 employees in 89 branches.It serves an average of over 320,000 customers a week.What a sucess story.
