MG – 100 years 
Sean Lyons, CEO at Fitzpatrick’s Garage Group commenting on the new partnership, 
said: “We are thrilled to represent MG in Kildare. As a group celebrating 75 years in 
business in 2026, joining forces with a brand as rich in heritage as MG could not be 
more perfect. In fact, we’ll have more than 175 years of experience between us, as MG 
recently celebrated their 100th birthday! Customers have always been at the heart of 
the Fitzpatrick’s business. As the motor industry accelerates towards electrification, 

Fitzpatrick’s prides itself as being progressive, open to change, new technology, and 
willing to help their customers on this exciting new journey. From Cecil Kimber’s 
original cars which quietly challenged convention in 1924 to the exciting range of 
electric and hybrid vehicles of today, MG aligns perfectly with our vision for the 
future of motoring. The addition of the famous Octagon to the Fitzpatrick’s family is 
one we are truly excited about, and we look forward to welcoming customers to MG’s 
new home in Kildare”. 
With this latest addition, MG Motor Ireland now boasts an expanding nationwide 
dealer network, offering Irish motorists’ greater access to the brand’s award-winning, 
well-equipped, and affordable vehicles, all backed by a comprehensive 7-year 
warranty.
