                             Annual General Meeting
                           Wednesday, 22nd June 2011


Providence Resources P.l.c. ("Providence"), the AIM and ESM listed company, held
its Annual General Meeting in Dublin today, where shareholders received an
update on the Company's portfolio of production, appraisal and exploration
assets.

The Company outlined details on its multi-year, multi-well drilling programme
offshore Ireland, which represents the largest drilling campaign ever carried
out in the history of the state.  Providence and its partners plan to invest
upwards of $500 million in the campaign, which includes drilling of up to 10
exploration and development wells across six basins offshore the island of
Ireland. A semi-submersible rig has already been contracted for drilling in the
Celtic Sea Basin and pre-drilling activities are already well underway with a
first spud date of September now expected.

Shareholders were also updated on the programme of activity underway at its
Singleton oil field, onshore UK, with plans to double production rates to over
1,500 BOEPD over the next two years through various initiatives, including
additional wells, stimulation and installation of generators to monetise flared
gas.

Speaking at the meeting, Tony O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Providence, said:

"We have a very busy period ahead, as we advance our extensive programme of
production, appraisal and exploration activity across our assets in Ireland and
the UK.

"As previously stated, the Company and its partners firmly believe that recent
advances in technology, infrastructure and commodity pricing combine to present
a unique opportunity to test the commercial potential of a number of these
assets, plus the ongoing re-development at Singleton, allows the Company access
greater production rates and higher reserves.

"The Board and I look forward with confidence to the year ahead as we embark on
an exciting programme of activity and we will continue to update shareholders
with developments over the period ahead".

All of the resolutions considered and voted upon by the shareholders were
approved. The full text of each resolution was included in the notice of the
meeting circulated to shareholders.
