The European Motor show starts this weekend in Dublin.  There’ll be plenty of glossy new vehicles on show but also a lot more hands-on experiences rather than red ropes for would-be motorists.  Close Brothers provided finance for 12,000 car purchases in Ireland last year whether through Hire purchases or PCP deals. Although buying a new car has soared in this decade, the demand for financing the deal has increased with it. 

Donal Murphy the Chief Executive of Close Brothers Motor Finance joined Joe on the show this morning.
