Irish Stock Exchange

The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) (Irish: Stocmhalartán na hÉireann) is Ireland's stock exchange, formed through the merger of the Cork and Dublin exchanges, both of which have existed as far back as 1793. In 1799, the Irish Parliament passed the Stock Exchange (Dublin) Act which regulated the Cork and Dublin Stock Exchanges. In 1973, the Irish exchange merged with the other British and Irish stock exchanges. From 1973 to 1995, the Irish Stock Exchange was a member of the International Stock Exchange of Great Britain and Ireland (now called the London Stock Exchange). The current independent Irish Stock Exchange was established in 1995, breaking the link with London. On 6 June 2000, the ISE closed its trading floor in Anglesea Street, Dublin 2, and switched to an electronic trading platform called ISE Xetra. This is based on the same trading platform used by, the Deutsche Börse Group.

The published index of shares is known as the Irish Stock Exchange Quotient or ISEQ Overall Index. Other indexes of the exchange include the ISEQ IEX Index, the ISEQ 20, the ISEQ General, ISEQ SmallCap, and ISEQ Financial.

The exchange is regulated by the Irish Financial Regulator under the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulations (MiFID).
