Ryanair Holdings Plc, received by Ryanair Holdings in the 8th February 2002..

Notification concerning interests in shares.

 1. Wellington Management Company, LLP ('WMC'), the undersigned, acts as
    discretionary investment manager to various separate accounts (the
    'Accounts') that hold beneficial interests in Ryanair Holdings Plc (the
    'Company'). Please note the while the information given below details the
    disclosable interests of more than one entity, the notification is not
    extended to indicate that any of these entities act as a group or in concert
    with respect to these interests. The interests detailed in paragraph 4 below
    were acquired for the Accounts in our capacity as discretionary investment
    manager to, and solely for the benefit of, the Accounts and the interests
    were acquired solely for investment purposes.
 2. WMC hereby gives notice to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Sections
    198(1) and 208(4)(B) of the Companies Act 1985 (the 'Act'), of the event
    referred to in paragraph 4 below.
 3. This notice is given in fulfillment of, and for the express purpose of
    discharging the obligations imposed on us by, the said Sections and arising
    out of the circumstances referred to in paragraph 4 below.
 4. As of 5 February, 2002 WMC became aware it holds, in the aggregate, with
    respect to the Accounts, an interest, within the meaning of Sections 203 and
    208 of the Act, in 6,426,006 ordinary shares and 5,412,310 ADRs. On a
    converted basis, this represents the equivalent of 33,487,556 ordinary
    shares, or 4.60% of the shares outstanding in the capital of the Company.
    Upon further review of its holdings, WMC believes it held a reportable
    interest in the Company in December, 2001. However, WMC did not realize the
    true position due to the different securities traded in three markets. WMC
    apologizes for this oversight and will be dilligent in reviewing the
    Companies securities in the future.



The aforementioned shares are registered in the name of the Accounts or their
custodians or nominees according to their respective holdings.

Our interest in the aforementioned shares is such an investment as is mentioned
in Section 205(5) of the Act.
