All Resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held
on 9th May 2007 were duly passed, including the following items of special
business:


Resolution 7:


'That, subject to the passing of Resolutions 5 and 9 at this meeting, for the
purposes of Section 209 of the Companies Act 1990, the price range within
which any treasury share (as defined therein) for the time being held by the
Company may be re-issued off-market shall be as follows:


(a)    the maximum price shall be an amount equal to 120 per cent of
       the Appropriate Price (as defined in paragraph (c)); and


(b)    the minimum price shall be:


       (i)     in the case of an Option Scheme (as defined in paragraph (d)
               below), an amount equal to the option price as provided for
               in such Option Scheme, or


      (ii)    in all other cases and circumstances where treasury shares
              are re-issued off-market, an amount equal to 95% of the
              Appropriate Price (as defined in paragraph (c)); and

(c)    'Appropriate Price' means the average of the five amounts
       resulting from determining whichever of the following ((i), (ii) or
       (iii) specified below) in relation to shares of the class of which
       such treasury share is to be re-issued shall be appropriate in
       respect of each of the five business days immediately preceding
       the day on which the treasury share is re-issued, as determined
       from information published by or under the authority of The Irish
       Stock Exchange Limited reporting the business done on each of
       those five business days: -


       (i)     if there shall be more than one dealing reported for the day,
               the average of the prices at which such dealings took place; or

      (ii)    if there shall be only one dealing reported for the day, the
              price at which such dealing took place; or


     (iii)    if there shall not be any dealing reported for the day, the
              average of the closing bid and offer prices for the day;

       and if there shall be only a bid (but not an offer) or an offer (but
       not a bid) price reported, or if there shall not be any bid or offer
       price reported for any particular day, then that day shall not count
       as one of the said five business days for the purposes of
       determining the Appropriate Price; if the means of providing the
       foregoing information as to dealings and prices by reference to
       which the Appropriate Price is to be determined is altered or is
       replaced by some other means, then the Appropriate Price shall be
       determined on the basis of the equivalent information published
       by the relevant authority in relation to dealings on The Irish Stock
       Exchange Limited or its equivalent; and


(d)    'Option Scheme' means any scheme or plan which involves the
       issue of options to acquire Ordinary Shares in the Company and
       which has been approved by the Company's shareholders in
       General Meeting.'


Resolution 8:


'That Article 8B of the Company's Articles of Association be amended by the
deletion of paragraphs (a) and (b) thereof and the substitution therefor of
paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Resolution 7.'
