What's the news?
Navan-based John Kelly Motor Company has become the latest Citroen dealership, bringing the size of the network to 21. Run by John Kelly, who himself has more than 20 years' experience in the motor industry, the dealership will give Citroen an important foothold in what is a highly populated catchment area.
Following the signing of the agreement in Citroen Ireland's head office, John Kelly said: "We are delighted to partner with such distinguished and reliable brands as Citroen and DS. This is very positive news for customers, both new and existing, and we welcome this great opportunity. The range of award-winning Citroen and DS cars are sure to attract great interest with our current and new customers that we will welcome to our showroom. We predict that the Grand C4 Picasso will be a top seller, and on the DS side the DS 4's good looks will definitely capture the public's attention. We believe this will be a great success story for John Kelly Motor Company, Citroen and most importantly our customers."
Citroen Ireland Managing Director, Frederic Soulier, said: "We are very pleased to add another dealership to our expanding Irish network; John Kelly Motor Company brings our dealership network to 21 authorised dealerships throughout the country. We look forward to working with John, Fiona and the team in continuing to increase Citroen's market share in Ireland."

The new dealership in Co. Meath will stock all of the current range of Citroen passenger and light commercial vehicles as well as the more stylish DS range including the recently launched new DS 3.
