The Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) is Ireland's stock exchange and can trace its history to 1793. In 1799, the Irish Parliament passed the Stock Exchange (Dublin) Act which set up the Dublin Stock Exchange. In 1973, the exchange merged with the other British and Irish stock exchanges. From 1973 to 1995, the Dublin 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 famous trading floor in Anglesea Street, Dublin 2, and switched to an electronic trading platform called ISE XETRA.
