Former Car Dealership - Cork

CorkCastle · 21-07-2021 6:50pm #1

Just searching for any info about the (long time ago) former Proton dealership in Dunmanaway, West Cork?

Specifically when it was actively a Proton dealer and when it lost/ceased the franchise?

After that was it just an independent garage/mechanics, and if so until when?

Thanks.

Are you referring to Hurleys Garage on the side of the road?

Corrugated shed?

There you go. not the sort of place you'd arrive upon by accident.

As it happens I've driven past loads of time both when it was a Proton dealer & now when it's a ruin as my aunt lives close by to there.

When was it last open as a proton dealer selling new cars?

Certainly doesn’t look like the place you’d buy a new car of any make from nowadays.

Did it trade for a while after being a proton dealer?

Thanks.

No idea when it closed I'm afraid as it's not like I ever stopped there to look or even paid it any attention. For sure the Proton sign (now gone) hung around a good while after it looked deserted. In fact I drove past it last night, looks like it's used as a farm building now.
