Frankfurt—the Irish motor trade

Motor show preview days attract more than just automotive journalists, write Brian Byrne and Trish Whelan. They are also occasions where executives of the motor industry get together to see what their own companies and their competitors are doing.

In an Irish context, Frankfurt is a difficult one to meet up with everybody from Ireland's motor trade at the show, but we did touch base with quite a few, pictured below.

Des Cannon and George Harbourne of Peugeot Ireland.


Conor Horgan of Cullen Communications, representing Ford Ireland.


Ciaran Allen of Mercedes-Benz Ireland.
