New Ford dealers in Dublin

Ford Ireland has announced two new dealerships in Dublin -- Appleyard Motors in Sandyford and Canavan Ford in East Wall.

Appleyard Motors, located in the Sandyford Business Park, is under the stewardship of Dealer Principal, Colin Farrell, and has been in operation for over 20 years. The dealership is taking over the Ford business of Esmonde Motors in Stillorgan. Appleyard previously held the franchise for Peugeot and Seat.

Part of the Ashley Motor Group, which includes Airside Ford in Swords, Canavan Ford will operate on the site of the previous Canavan Motors near the Port Tunnel, but is entirely independent of that entity.

Ford is the best-selling car and van brand so far this year on the Irish market, with a market share of 14.3% and 18.9% respectively.
