Six McDonald's Drive Thru's will open in Cork at 11am today
The fast food chain says it is working closely with Gardaí and say they may be forced to close Drive Thru lanes if queues cause disruption or put employees or customers at risk.
The restaurants in Douglas Village, Mallow, Blackpool, Midleton, Ballincollig and Ballyphehane (Kinsale Road) will be open between 11am and 10pm and will offer a limited menu.
Customers are being encouraged to order a max of up to €30 worth of food and are being asked to be patient as employees adjust to new procedures.
