Lord Mayor of Cork takes delivery of Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr. Deirdre Forde, was today presented with the 2023 Lord Mayoral car, a fully-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range AWD, by Pàdraig Duane of Henry Ford & Son Ltd.
This is the second consecutive year that an electric vehicle is being used to support the Lord Mayor of Cork’s duties and is in line with Cork City Council’s 2019 – 2024 Corporate Plan which sets out the Council’s plans to lead in the creation of a more sustainable city.

The Mustang Mach-E fully- electric SUV has a possible range in excess of 600km and will be charged on site in City Hall.
Pádraig Duane, fleet business manager at Henry Ford & Son Ltd. commented: “We are delighted to continue for 2023 the long tradition of providing a Ford car for use by the City’s Lord Mayor.
“With its distinctive number plate – always the first car to be registered each year in Cork, the Lord Mayor’s car has become a common sight in and around Cork City and, indeed, in the wider county.”
Mach-E drivers in Ireland, through Ford’s BlueOval Charge Network, have access to around 3,000 charge points on the island of Ireland and over 300,000 public charging stations across Europe.
The charging network includes access to high power chargers such as the fast-charging stations from IONITY.
