Re: Brochure of Particulars


On 26 September 2000 DCC plc ('DCC') issued 132 ordinary shares of EUR 0.25
each credited as fully paid, at a price of EUR 10.02 per share, in connection
with an increase in DCC's shareholding in Fannin Limited ('Fannin') from 82%
to 88%, through the exercise of a call option over 6% of Fannin's share
capital.  The total consideration paid for the 6% shareholding amounted to
IR£2.581 million (EUR 3.277 million) and was satisfied as to IR£2.580 million
(EUR 3.276 million) in cash and IR£1,041 (EUR 1,322) by the issue of ordinary
shares.

As already announced on 5 October 1998, put and call options exist which will
permit DCC to increase its shareholding in Fannin to 100% by 2002.

Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange and to the UK Listing
Authority for these shares to be admitted to the Official List of the Irish
Stock Exchange and the Official List of the UK Listing Authority, and to the
London Stock Exchange for such shares to be admitted to trading.  The shares
issued rank pari passu in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary
shares at the date of issue.
