Dear Sir/Madam,

I refer to Chapter 2 of Part IV of the Companies Act 1990 which requires
disclosure, by a person who acquires an  interest in 5% or more of the Issued
Share Capital of a public limited company, to that company of the holding.  
Subsequent transactions which change the percentage holding by a whole number

holding, 175,893 units are registered in  the name of Citibank Nominees Limited,
554,728 units are registered in the name of Nortrust Nominees Limited, 95,412 
units are registered in the name of AIB Nominees Limited and 14,349,522 units
are registered in the name of Bank of  Ireland Nominees Limited, as registered
owner only on behalf of a range of clients each of whom are the beneficial 
owner of a portion of the holding.

Our interest is being calculated using an Issued Share Capital figure of
292,869,684, which is obtained by us from an  FTI feed direct from the Irish
