    Just tried redeeming in Limerick McDonalds. Seemingly, they're not partaking. Yer one at the drive-thru didn't know what to do with it. She had to go get the manager who said Limerick McDs not partaking. You think the frickin app would have said as much.

    This is not the same deal, but perhaps this offer excludes the same McDonald's that are listed here?

    Nope, entire locations. Manager said Limerick stores aren't doing it. Dublin ones are.

    Think all the Limerick stores are franchises

    Not sure of the inner workings of McD's. I always thought the franchisees opt-in or out on a per deal basis.

    Uninstalled the app anyway. **** that nonsense. They could have easily listed the stores taking place or had something to check if a certain store is not doing it. Lazy on the app makers part.

    CRESCENT SHOPPING CENTRE

    LIMERICK 2

    GALWAY RETAIL PARK

    DROGHEDA

    MALLOW

    SWORDS - THE PLAZA

    DUBLIN - MARY STREET

    CORK 4 - MALLOW ROAD

    CASTLETROY

    No way to delete account or contact them from within app so just fired off the good old Art. 17 GDPR (Right to erasure ) email to them.
    Used the email address on the android app listing - mcdonaldsglobalmobileapp@gmail.com

    A gmail address for an official McDonalds app - FFS!

    Whats the point of a mcdonalds ireland app, if all irish mcdonalds are not in it?
    On the plus side, shannon doesnt seem to be on the exclusion list, though ennis is, so at least i have that...

    If that list is correct then 71 of the 89 branches are still eligible. Also, the purpose of the app is not just for discounts.

    cheers OP.

    Also another ongoing McDonalds offer is on your receipt, you've to do a 3 minute survey and that gives you a code for a Big Mac and fries for 4.50. Write the code on the receipt and redeem at the counter. You can keep doing this over and over again if you want as every receipt has the offer on it

    All McDonalds are Franchises, there are a few "chains" of them in Ireland, All the Galway stores are the same franchise.

    totally false:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald's#Business_model

    last look was 9 of the irish resturants were direct owned:
    https://fora.ie/mcdonalds-ireland-investment-3975508-Apr2018/#:~:text=McDonald's%20directly%20operated%20only%20nine,expansion%E2%80%9D%20of%20its%20Irish%20operations.


    related, glad to see mcdonalds have moved the irish website to the corporate version- the old one was well outdated.

    Your two links slightly contradict each other, one says less thab 30% of stores are franchies here, but the other says only 9 of the irish stores are directly owned, which is less than 10% directly owned.

    Either way, i am incorrect in that all stores are Franchises, but 90% are Franchises acccording to your Fora.ie link

    I went to the Ashleaf Shopping Centre Mc Donald's store in Crumlin (Dublin 12). Just showed the 2 euro big mac coupon to the cashier and received the discount straightaway. I didn't even need to redeem the voucher at the app. Happy Days! Thanks, OP!

    I don't see any of the two Waterford City McD on that list so I am assuming they're not partaking in this promotion either, although the Dungarvan one which I think is owed by somebody else is on the list. A guy called Joe Byrne owns both city ones.

    They don't. The first link[1] mentions United Kingdom & Ireland. The second link jus relates to Ireland.
