Profits at car hire firm fell 4% in year before sale
US giant Enterprise, which operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent-A-Car brands in more than 85 countries, said in April it had bought the 1,400-strong fleet of the Limerick-based Dooley firm. The acquisition price was not disclosed but parts of Dan Dooley, including its Ford dealerships in Tipperary and Limerick, were not sold under the deal.
The latest accounts show that Dan Dooley’s revenues increased 4% to €34m in the 12 months to the end of November. Pay to directors — listed as James, Patrick, and Daniel Dooley — more than doubled from €316,263 to €700,063.
