Irish McDonald's fans to go wild as brand new menu item drops in days
Earlier this year, the beloved restaurant revealed they were bringing back some discontinued items ahead of the summer season, including the Biscoff McFlurry and the Biscoff Frappe.
Now, McDonald's have confirmed there'll be a new addition to their menu. Fast food favourite McDonald's have revealed they are introducing a brand new burger to their menu later this month — with a whole new sauce. Pic: Jeff Gilbert
The Iconic Big Arch is designed for those who don't do things by halves, with a spokesperson for McDonald's promising that the burger will satisfy 'even the fiercest McDonald's hunger.'
The new burger is described as a 'hot, juicy beef, cheddar cheese and signature Big Arch sauce' shaped icon and will be available to order at restaurants and via McDelivery from Wednesday, June 18.
The burger sees two juicy 100% Irish beef patties stacked on top of each other, topped with white cheddar cheese slices, crispy onions, fresh onions, shredded lettuce, crunchy pickles, and finished off with the signature Big Arch sauce.

The spokesperson shared: 'The Big Arch sauce is packed full of that unmistakably McDonald's flavour. Rich, creamy and packed with serious flavour, bringing the Big Arch to life in every bite.'

John Downing: Millionaire mogul Sheridan must overcome his controversies before he can be a credible presidential candidate
Past presidents have included lawyers, teachers, academics and journalists, but businesspeople have never been successful The business route to Áras an Uachtaráin is the one less-travelled. This makes us ponder why a heavy-hitter in international commerce like Gareth Sheridan wants to switch to being a ribbon-cutter at civic occasions. In its near 90-year existence, the office of Irish president has never had a business titan win the Áras. That simple fact is further highlighted by the number of controversies that have descended upon the millionaire pharma mogul in the days after he confirmed his presidential ambitions, as first unveiled in the Sunday Independent, at Tullamore Show last Sunday.

Further growth in employment numbers predicted for 2025
The optimistic forecast is being made despite the recent uptick in the unemployment rate, and with the Central Statistics Office reporting a small decline in employee numbers in June. The monthly employee index for males decreased by 0.3pc, while for females it was down 0.2pc in the month. Based on age, the largest monthly decrease was in the 15- to 19-year-old category, which was down 2.6pc. Darragh Turner, a statistician in the labour market and earnings division of the CSO, said while two sectors had a monthly increase in numbers employed, and two were unchanged, 11 showed a decrease. 'The sector that observed the largest monthly fall was services, down 2.3pc, followed by agriculture, forestry and fishing, down 1.5pc,' he said, while pointing out that services is the smallest of the sectors, with 4,400 employees in June. According to the analysis by Davy, employment growth picked up 2.5pc in the second quarter from 2.3pc in Q1, with growth remaining stronger for higher wage sectors. 'With prior-year revisions to May and June factored in, we estimate that Q2 employee payrolls grew by 2.5pc in year-on-year terms,' said Kevin Timoney, an economist with Davy. 'This is up from 2.3pc in Q1 and is a remarkably strong result despite significantly elevated uncertainty in the first half of this year.' Davy's analysis of Irish payrolls data shows that February is typically the low point for employment each year, while there is a significant ramp-up in hiring between March and June. 'This makes sense from the perspective that seasonal labour demand for spring and summer workers is highest, and hiring is often necessary in advance of peak months for activity,' it said. 'With last year's revisions to June payrolls included, this suggests an uplift for March-June 2025 of 75,000 workers. The corresponding increases in 2023 and 2024 respectively were 69,000 and 72,000.' On this basis, Davy says the data suggests 2025 is on course to be another year of increased employment. High-skill sectors, those with above-average hourly wages, are continuing to drive the growth. 'For the first six months of 2025, the average growth rate for these sectors has exceeded growth for lower-pay sectors by 0.9 of a percentage point,' the Davy analysis says. 'By age group, it is interesting that Q2 saw an increase in year-on-year payrolls growth for young adults to 1.9pc, up from 1.3pc in Q1 and 1.2pc in Q2 2024. Other age groups saw broadly steady payroll growth rates relative to recent months.'

Wexford clothing company enjoys a ‘cúpla focail' with presidential candidate Catherine Connolly on Fleadh visit
That was certainly the case with one high-profile exponent of the Irish language, presidential hopeful Catherine Connolly, who dropped in for a browse and a chat with owners and best friends Gillian de Faoite and Nina Shelton. Mothers of autistic children, the Wexford women founded the company with the aim of making sensory-friendly clothing for both children and adults and, naturally, being Gaelgeoirí themselves, the Irish language certainly played a part in their cool and colourful designs. "We've had an incredibly successful Fleadh this year, connecting with people from all over the world who've flocked to our town for this brilliant event,' Gillian said. 'It truly puts Wexford on the map.' Nina and Gillian were particularly delighted to have a lengthy chat with Catherine Connolly (as Gaeilge) about their journey and hopes for the future. "A real highlight was being visited by Catherine Connolly,' Nina said. 'It was such a privilege to meet someone so genuine, who took a personal interest in our story and our brand. She immediately understood what we're trying to achieve and that we're so much more than a children's clothing company. At our core is a commitment to inclusivity, giving everyone a seat at the table.' Ms Connolly was suitably impressed by the award-winning Wexford business owners. "Her passion for the Irish language meant we enjoyed a beautiful, fluent conversation 'as Gaeilge', and we're deeply grateful for the generosity she showed us in both her time and her attention in what was surely a busy day.' A successful Fleadh is just one cause for celebration for Sully & Juno of late, as the business has also been selected by the European Commission as a 'Pioneer of Inclusivity' for 2024/25.
