Re: Notification concerning interests in shares of Ryanair Holdings plc (the "

Dear Mr. Callaghan:

Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington Management") is registered as an
investment adviser with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and
acts as discretionary investment manager on behalf of various separate accounts
(the "Accounts") that hold an interest in shares of the Company. Wellington
Management's interest in the shares is as an investment manager, as is mentioned
in Sections 67(1) and 77(4)(B) of the Companies Act 1990 (the "Act"). The
Accounts do not act as a group nor do they act in concert with respect to the
interests in shares. Wellington Management acquired the interests in shares for
the Accounts in its capacity as discretionary investment manager to, and solely
for the benefit of, the Accounts, and the interests were acquired solely for
investment purposes. The shares are registered in the name of the Accounts or
the Accounts' custodians or nominees according to their respective holdings.
2
Wellington Management as discretionary investment manager on behalf of various
separate accounts, has purchased, in the aggregate, 1,225,510 ordinary shares
and 11,858,222 ADR shares. On a converted basis, this represents the equivalent
of 60,516,620 ordinary shares, or 7.86% of the shares outstanding, of the
Company. This is a decrease of 0.85% since our notification on 7 March 2006.
Therefore, Wellington Management hereby gives notice to the Company of such
interest in shares, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 67(1) and 77(4)(B) of
the Act.
