We don't say we met up with them all, but among those there on the first day included Nollaig Breen, Dave Shannon and Ian Corbett of Toyota Ireland.
Pearse O'Loughlin of Cullen Communications was once again ably representing Ford Ireland on the extensive and very interesting Ford stand.
Gabriel Hogan, Declan McCourt and Gerald O'Farrell of OHM Group, distributors of Jaguar Land Rover, were also sussing out things on their own brands' stands and the competition.
Aidan Doyle and James Brooks of Kia Ireland had plenty to show with the new Carens and pro_cee'd as well as a refreshed Sorento.
Bill Cullen and Ron Cella of Bill Cullen Motor Group never miss a significant motor show.
Adrian Cole and Frank Kennedy of Honda Ireland were both welcoming their new CR-V and celebrating 40 years of Honda Civic.
Conor Twomey of Fiat Ireland had a new 4x4 Panda to show off, as well as a Panda Trekker and some interesting Abarths. And the Jeep stand down the way had the usual gutsy vehicles from that brand with some variations that will come to Ireland next year. (And then there was Miss Italy...)Gerard Rice and Gavin Flood of Mitsubishi Ireland were busy checking out their new Mirage replacement for the Colt, and the plug-in hybrid version of the Outlander, both of which will be in Ireland next year.
We'll no doubt bump into a few more from Ireland tomorrow.
