'The CPL Group has continued to perform strongly since 30 June 2006 and results
for the six months to 31 December 2006 are likely to exceed current market
expectations.



Trading has been strong across most sectors of the group's business, reflecting
continued growth in the Irish economy and labour market.  The Group's permanent
placement business has continued to perform well, and demand remains buoyant for
temporary and contract employees.  Current trading conditions indicate that the
business will continue to perform well over the coming months.'
