There is an indication that the company was called PJ O'Hea Limited and the plant was called Glasheen Road Works. Such a company existed from 1924 to the 2010s. However, it was associated with Opel , a brand of General Motors , a direct competitor of Dodge's parent company Chrysler .
Another Irish assembly plant for Dodge was John O'Neill Limited in Dublin .
Despite the same or similar company name, there are no known connections to O'Shea's Limited (Daihatsu) from Dublin, O'Shea's Limited (Opel) from Cork and O'Shea Group from Dublin.
