will retire as Chairman and from the Board on 31 December
2019.
Mr.
Boucher (61) joined the CRH Board in March 2018 and has been
Chairman of CRH's Remuneration Committee since September 2018. He
was Chief Executive of Bank of Ireland Group plc between February
2009 and October 2017. He also held a number of key senior

Ulster Bank. He is a non-executive Director of Kennedy Wilson
Holdings, Inc. and Eurobank Ergasias SA.
The
Board has also appointed Mr. Johan Karlström as a
non-executive Director, with effect from 25 September
2019.
Mr.
Karlström (62) was President and Chief Executive Officer of
Skanska AB, a leading multinational construction and project

Commenting on these appointments Nicky Hartery,
CRH Chairman, said: "The appointments announced
today are important steps in the ongoing process of board renewal.
Richie's appointment as Chairman Designate follows a robust and
thorough selection process led by CRH's Senior Independent
Director, Gillian Platt. With a track record of creating value for
shareholders, he is ideally equipped to lead the Board through the
next phase of the Group's development. We are also delighted that
Johan has joined the Board. His background and his knowledge of our
industry will be an important addition to the collective skills and
experience of the Board."
Albert Manifold, CRH Chief Executive,

want to thank Nicky for the significant contributions he has made
during his service on the Board, including his stewardship
following the financial crisis and overseeing the significant

initiatives during his tenure as Chairman."
