Irish Supreme Court Judgment

DCC PLC

27 July 2007




                          IRISH SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT


Further to the Stock Exchange announcement made earlier today in relation to the
judgment of the Irish Supreme Court, the Board of DCC has met to consider the
outcome.

The Board of DCC wishes to express its full confidence in and unanimous support
for Jim Flavin as Executive Chairman of DCC.

In allowing the Appeal, the Supreme Court judgment did not affect the High
Court's finding that the sale of the shares by the DCC Group was not in any way
motivated by the information relating to Fyffes which was in the possession of
Jim Flavin and that, accordingly, the sale did not involve any use of that
information.

The Board wishes to assure shareholders that the focus of the DCC senior
management team continues to be on the growth and development of the company in
the best interests of its shareholders.
