                         AGM Statement


Addressing shareholders at the Annual General Meeting  of  DCC
plc,  the value added marketing and distribution group,  which
was  held  today in Dublin, Jim Flavin, the Founder and  Chief
Executive, made the following statement on current trading and
the outlook for the Group:

'DCC  Group trading in the first quarter of the financial year
has been strong.

Our   IT  Distribution  business,  SerCom  Distribution,   has
continued its record of excellent profit growth.

In  Energy, sales volumes and profits in these seasonally less
important months are substantially up.

Healthcare   has  also  started  the  year  very   well   with
particularly strong profit growth in mobility and rehab and in
nutraceuticals.

Profit  growth in the smaller Food division may be  modest  in
the  first  half but we expect good growth for the year  as  a
whole.

At  SerCom  Solutions we continue to invest in IT systems  and
skilled  personnel to position DCC for growth in supply  chain
management  and  e-fulfilment  services  to  the  IT   sector.
Revenues  have  advanced  in line  with  expectations  but  no
material profit contribution is expected in the short term.

The  outlook for DCC continues to be very promising  for  this
year and beyond.'
