                             Director shareholding

On 21 August 2003 the Company received notification from Niall FitzGerald that,
following the issuance of a decree absolute in his divorce on 1 July 2003, he is
no longer interested in 1,394 ordinary shares of the Company which are held by
his former wife.

As a result Mr FitzGerald is now beneficially interested in 435,751 ordinary
shares in the Company, representing 0.015 per cent. of the Company's total
issued ordinary share capital.
