*ACC Bank left State ownership in 2002, ICC Bank left State ownership in 2001 and Telecom Éireann left State ownership in 1999.
No dividends have been received to date in 2004. I expect to receive dividends in respect of the following companies this year: Aer Rianta — €6.074 million, Bord Gais Éireann — €9.679 million, ESB — €63.762 million and Irish Aviation Authority — €1.27 million.
