US giant Enterprise buys Limerick car rental fleet

The Irish operation of American car rental giant Enterprise has bought Irish-owned Dooley Car Rentals — and has not ruled out further Irish acquisitions in the future.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car Ireland bought the 50-year-old business for an undisclosed sum and takes over a fleet of more than 1,400 vehicles and international customers and contracts from the Limerick-based Dan Dooley Group.

Other divisions within the Dan Dooley Group, including Ford dealerships in Tipperary and Limerick, are not affected by the acquisition.
