US fast-food giant McDonald's has announced it is to begin delivering food in several parts of the country.

The McDelivery service, in partnership with UberEATS, is available to anyone within one and a half miles of participating restaurants.

It will roll out across Dublin, Galway and Cork in phase one from November 8th.

The McDelivery will feature McDonald's breakfast, lunch and dinner options from 8.00am to midnight, seven days a week.

Users can download the UberEATS app, pick a delivery location and search for their nearest McDonald's outlet.

People can add notes to customise their meal, and their card on file is charged.
