Yes it's distribution operation here is supposed to be 100% Irish owned, not sure how long that will last though most manufacturers are taking over their operations in Ireland now eg VAG.

Toyota Ireland have around 3 times the market share Toyota in Europe have9and have had this for years), I cant see Tim Mahony being bought out, its not like Toyota Ireland are doing a bad job;whatever about the cars, the dealers have a good reputation, and the have been the market leaders(in terms of sales obviously, not in terms of the products they offer) for so long I can't remember a year that they weren't.

And for the relative strength of Toyota in this country, Toyota had bloody well better be making ads using RHD cars.

I wouldn't agree that Toyota put in a lot of effort, they sell cars with a pittance of a spec list, they are not always the cheapest(they are certainly NOT the cheapest if you compared one with an identical spec list to a rival car bar a VW perhaps), they've been using the Best Built Cars in the World slogan here for so long they probably used it before I was born.

I actually find the marketing efforts of all importers/car makers piss poor compared to what they do in other countries here.
