    'The Nomination Committee keeps Board renewal, structure, size and 
    composition under regular review, including the skills, knowledge 
    and experience required. The Committee has particular regard to the 
    leadership needs of the organisation, both executive and non-executive, 
    and therefore gives full consideration to succession planning for the 
    Chairman and Chief Executive. In this regard, I have informed the 
    Committee that this is the last year I will seek re-election to the 
    Board, as I intend to retire as Chairman and from the Board in advance 
    of the Annual General Meeting in 2007.'

This announcement is being made following a meeting of the Nomination Committee
today to comply with Section 6.6.11 of the Listing Rules of the Irish Stock
Exchange and Section 9.6.11 of the Listing Rules of the Financial Services
Authority.
