In conformity with Regulation 20 of the Transparency (Directive
2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007, Irish Continental Group plc confirms
that as of 30 September 2008:

Irish Continental Group plc's total issued share capital consists of
25,516,208 ICG Units. This includes 899,500 ICG Units held as
Treasury shares, which do not carry voting rights.

Therefore the total number of ICG Units with voting rights is

denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they
are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the share capital of Irish Continental Group plc under
the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 and the
Rules of both the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority and
the UK Financial Services Authority.
