It's hoped the new McDonalds in Carrick on Shannon will open in November
The fast food giant was granted planning permission by Leitrim County Council for the new restaurant at the Rosebank Retail Park on the Dublin Road last year.
An appeal was lodged by EMAC Catering Ltd, calling on the planning body to overturn the councils decision.

The group raised concerns over traffic issues, the proximity of a local secondary school and the presence of an existing fast food drive thru in the same retail park.
Despite submissions, An Bórd Pleanála overturned the appeal and granted permission for construction to proceed.
In a statement to Shannonside Northern Sound, McDonalds have confirmed that the restaurant is targeting an opening date of November 8th.
