We wish you well in Government as you address what is required to restore Ireland’s fortunes. Barclays Capital has a valued, longstanding relationship with The Government of Ireland. We are a leading Primary Dealer and bookrunner of Irish Government Bonds for the National Treasury Management Agency; and have lead managed 6 of the NTMA's last 8 syndicated issues, raising €uro37bn. Further, in December, we were mandated by the Central Bank of Ireland to advise on the restructuring of the Irish Banking Sector. Since 2008 we have assisted Irish corporations in raising over €6bn in the international capital markets. Barclays pic also employs over 100 people in its Dublin based office. We noted the comment in your Partnership Agreement that the new Government intends to 'restore our country's finances'. My colleagues and I are very keen to explore how we might assist you in pursuit of this goal, looking at a range of topics with an Investment Banking component, for example the future of the Irish banking sector, the Government's access to the international capital markets, the establishment of NewERA and the potential sale of State Assets. I know your diary will be extremely busy, but very much hope we can arrange a meeting in Dublin when convenient. We will contact your office to try to secure a convenient date.

Department of Finance Government Buildings Upper Merrion Street Dublin 2 Ireland Dear Minister Noonan, It was a pleasure to meet you on Monday and to share thoughts on how to best stimulate activity in the domestic economy and on the outlook for Ireland in the context of continuing global uncertainty. My feeling is that Ireland has many inherent advantages when compared to some other Eurozone countries and that the diversified and value added nature of Ireland’s industry, combined with continuing success in attracting foreign direct Investments, will stand the State in good stead. Barclays has a successful and growing business in Ireland and this is supported from London through our sector and product specialists, including the advisory team with whom you and John Moran are already well connected. Should there be any area in which you feel Barclays could provide input in assisting you to determine and fulfill you strategic objectives, please do not hesitate to call me. In the meantime, the bank will continue to build its local business through its Wealth, Corporate and Investment Banking activities, a significant part of which is through our extensive relationships with the Semi State Enterprises. Yours sincerely, Rich Ricci. Barclays 8ank PLC is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and a member of the London Stock Exchange. Registered in England 1026167.
