The incident occurred at around 2.50am on Tuesday and led to damage to the windows and door of the premises. The burglary attempt comes while an attack on a Lidl store in Fortunestown, Dublin is still fresh in the memory.

Nothing was stolen during the incident and Lidl offered its sympathy to McDonalds with a good-humoured tweet.
