General

Prior to the 2004 fiscal year, we prepared our Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated by reference on our historical Form 20-F, in conformity with Irish generally accepted accounting principles (Irish GAAP). Beginning with our 2004 fiscal year, we adopted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) as the basis for the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Form 20-F are prepared on the basis of U.S. GAAP for all periods presented.

We also prepared separate Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which differ in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. The Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report have been prepared for the first time for the year ended December 31, 2005 under IFRS. Comparative information, which was previously presented under Irish GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2004, has been restated under IFRS. The Annual Report under IFRS, which includes a reconciliation of previously reported Irish GAAP financial information to IFRS, is a separate document from this Form 20-F.
