The record
The Department's figures show 10 employment permits issued to McDonald International Ltd in 2026, which places it 477th of 7,732 employers nationally and makes it a regular rather than an occasional user of the system.
The history runs from 2017: 157 permits over 9 years, with 2022 the busiest at 66. The recent trend is up: the last full year was well ahead of three years before.
This year's permits came in 3 separate months, busiest in June with 5, which suggests a few distinct rounds of recruitment.
Mcdonald International Limited is the registered name (CRO number 154396): a ltd - private company limited by shares, 36 years on the register. Its registered office is at Cappincur, Co. Offaly., Tullamore,offaly.
What this tells you
A working relationship with the permit system
McDonald International Ltd takes permits most years, which is the profile of an employer that recruits from abroad when a role cannot be filled locally and has the paperwork down.
How to approach them
Time it to the rhythm
This year McDonald International Ltd's permits peaked in June. Hiring rounds tend to repeat, so an application a couple of months ahead of that lands when the decision is being made.
