They say the best things in life are free - now including your breakfast.

Research carried out has revealed that we are a nation of egg lovers, with a whopping 62% voting eggs their favourite breakfast menu item - ahead of sausages at 20% and bacon at 18%.

To that end, McDonald's have launched Free Breakfast Friday, which will see the company give away 40,000 Egg McMuffins on Friday March 27th.

'Love/Hate' star Tom Vaughan-Lawlor has been named Ireland's dream breakfast companion.

The actor, best known for his role as Nidge, fought off tough competition from Jamie Dornan - as well as singer Imelda May, model Roz Purcell and footballer Stephanie Roche.

When it comes to the most important meal of the day, almost half of us (49%) have a 'grab-n-go' attitude, while over a quarter (28%) prefer to 'sit down and savour' breakfast.

While 4% of us skip breakfast altogether, and have rumbling stomachs until lunch.

Some 50% of us usually eat breakfast alone, compared to 31% who dine with work colleagues.

And it seems ketchup is king - with 44% voting it their top breakfast condiment. Jam comes a close second at 42%, followed by brown sauce, hollandaise sauce and mayonnaise.
