SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Elan Corporation plc, American Depositary Shares 
Evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, Representing Ordinary 
Shares, Par Value 4 Irish Pence; Warrants To Purchase Ordinary Shares, 
par Value 4 Irish Pence, Represented by American Depositary Shares, 
Evidenced by American Depositary Receipts of Elan Corporation, plc) 
File No. 1-10416

June 19, 1995.
    Elan Corporation, plc (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the 
American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the 
Securities from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, in addition to being listed on the Amex, 
the Securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``NYSE'').
    In making the decision to withdraw the Securities from listing on 
the Amex, the Company considered the direct and indirect costs and 
expenses in connection with maintaining the dual listing of the 
Securities on the NYSE and on the Amex. The Company does not see any 
particular advantage in the dual trading of the Securities and believes 
that dual listing would fragment the market for the Securities.
    Any interested person may, on or before July 11, 1995, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchanges 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
