Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") has today changed Dublin Airport Authority plc's ("DAA") long-term corporate credit rating from BBB+ (Negative) to BBB (CreditWatch Negative). Consequent upon their lowering of the ratings on Ireland to 'A/A-1' (CreditWatch negative) earlier this week, in accordance with their criteria on government-related entities, S&P has removed the one-notch uplift it previously applied to DAA's stand-alone credit profile for extraordinary support.

At the same time, DAA's short term credit rating was also changed from A-2 to A-3.
