    I tried it and it's rubbish slow. Surely occurred to management they might actually be busy on st Patricks day and have extra resources in place. But no.I was watching the pace at which they were serving orders. Painfully slow.
    How was anyone proven wrong exactly? People were making the point that the Hebron road is a great location, it's beside the motorway and ring road, but there was no need to close their Patrick at branch.

    60 new jobs they say.

    I was up there Wednesday eve. No queue at drive through. Chatting to girl there. She was pulled in from Kildare to help out.

    Fair play, they employ a huge amount of people as it is and are recruiting another 60 staff.
    Same restaurant, different location, more jobs.....

    Dont see how this could be a bad thing for the county tbh.

    The sceptic in me tells me it's not "60 new jobs" at all. Just the existing workforce plus a few extra taken on. It's not that big in fairness. Positive spin and publicity.

    I know 3 people that have started work there, and they're still advertising for more jobs on the website with applications open.
    Its still a fairly sizeable take on of staff.

    I went up through the drive thru last thursday, just in the door now. Possibly the slowest "fast" food place I've ever been too and you could tell the food had been cooked and left there for about an hour before being served, it was just so dry and hard to swallow :-/

    The old place employed 40 staff. The new one will employ 100 staff. That's a 60 employee increase. Surely a good thing.
