The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned understands that, upon a withdrawal of the cash payment for tendered Shares made by wire, the institution at which the account is held may subject such withdrawal to any fees that the institution would customarily assess upon the withdrawal of cash from such account. The Fund will not pay interest on the purchase price under any circumstances.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and all obligations of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

INSTRUCTIONS
Forming Part of the Terms and Conditions of the Offer to Purchase

No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holders of Shares tendered hereby (including, for purposes of this document, any participant in the book-entry transfer facility of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) whose name appears on DTC’s security position listing as the owner of Shares), unless such holders have completed either the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” included in this Letter of Transmittal, or (b) the Shares are tendered for the account of a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or by a commercial bank or trust company having an office, branch or agency in the United States (each an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6.

2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used (a) if Shares are to be forwarded herewith, (b) if uncertificated Shares held by the Fund’s transfer agent pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan are to be tendered, or (c) if tenders are to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the Depositary pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ANY DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING SHARE CERTIFICATES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH ANY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, AND ANY PROCESSING FEE IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE TENDERING SHAREHOLDER. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Shareholders have the responsibility to cause their Shares (in proper certificated or uncertificated form), this Letter of Transmittal (or a copy or facsimile hereof) properly completed and bearing original signatures and the original of any required signature guarantees, any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to be timely delivered in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.

The Fund will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. All tendering shareholders, brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a copy or facsimile hereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their tender.

3. Lost Certificates. In the event that any shareholder of The New Ireland Fund, Inc. is unable to deliver to the Depositary certificates representing his, her or its shares of The New Ireland Fund, Inc. due to the loss or destruction of such certificates, such fact should be indicated on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In such case, the shareholder should also contact the Fund’s transfer agent to report the lost securities. The transfer agent will forward additional documentation which such shareholder must complete in order to effectively surrender such lost or destroyed certificates (including affidavits of loss and indemnity bonds in lieu thereof). There may be a fee in respect of lost or destroyed The New Ireland Fund, Inc. certificates, but surrenders hereunder regarding such lost certificates will be processed only after such documentation has been submitted to and approved by the transfer agent.

-8- 

4. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in any of the boxes to be completed is inadequate, the necessary information should be listed on a separate schedule signed by all of the required signatories and attached hereto.

5. Proration. The Fund is offering to purchase 1,213,300 Shares. If shareholders tender (and do not withdraw) more than 1,213,300 Shares for purchase by the Fund, the Fund will purchase duly tendered Shares from participating shareholders on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions, based upon the number of Shares each shareholder tenders for purchase and does not timely withdraw, unless the Fund determines not to purchase any Shares. The Fund does not intend to increase the number of Shares that it is offering to purchase, even if shareholders tender more than the maximum number of Shares to be purchased by the Fund in the Offer to Purchase.

6. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Authorizations and Endorsements.

(a) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holders of the Shares tendered hereby, the signatures must correspond with the names as written on the face of the certificates for the Shares tendered without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

(b) If any of the Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

(c) If any of the tendered Shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it is necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations.

(d) If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate for Shares tendered or stock powers relating to Shares tendered are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Fund of their authority so to act must be submitted.

(e) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holders of the Shares transmitted hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made to, or certificates for Shares not purchased are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered holders. Signatures on such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

(f) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holders of the certificates listed thereon, the certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the names of the registered holders appear on the certificates for the Shares involved. Signatures on such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

(g) Attribution under Section 318 of the Code can cause shares of common stock of the Fund held by your family members, or held by an entity such as a trust, estate, partnership or corporation in which you have an interest, to be considered as owned by you. The attribution rules under Section 318 of the Code are complex. Please consult your tax advisor for details.

-9- 

8. Determinations of Validity. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined not to be in appropriate form or to refuse to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, any Shares if, in the opinion of the Fund’s counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such Shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer to Purchase or any defect in any tender, whether generally or with respect to any particular Shares or shareholders. The Fund’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase (including these instructions) shall be final and binding. By tendering Shares to the Fund, you agree to accept all decisions the Fund makes concerning these matters and waive any right you might otherwise have to challenge those decisions.

NONE OF THE FUND, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISER, THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS OR WILL BE OBLIGATED TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY DEFECT OR IRREGULARITY IN ANY TENDER, AND NONE OF THEM WILL INCUR ANY LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO GIVE ANY SUCH NOTICE.

9. Procedures for Participants in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Holders of Shares acquired through the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan may tender such Shares by completing the appropriate section of this Letter of Transmittal. If a shareholder tenders Shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan, all such Shares credited to such shareholder’s account(s) will be tendered, unless the shareholder otherwise specifies in this Letter of Transmittal. If a shareholder does not complete the section of this Letter of Transmittal to tender shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan, no Shares acquired by that shareholder through the dividend reinvestment plan will be deemed to have been tendered.

10. Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Questions, requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to AST Fund Solutions, LLC (the “Information Agent”) by telephoning 1-800-398-1247. Shareholders who do not own Shares directly may also obtain such information and copies from their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. Shareholders who do not own Shares directly are required to tender their Shares through their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and should NOT submit this Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary.

11. Restriction on Short Sales. Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14e-4 promulgated thereunder, make it unlawful for any person, acting alone or in concert with others, to tender Shares in a partial tender offer for such person’s own account unless at the time of tender, and at the time the Shares are accepted for payment, the person tendering has a “net long position” equal to or greater than the amount tendered in (a) Shares, and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Shares for the purpose of tender to the person making the Offer to Purchase within the period specified in the Offer to Purchase, or (b) an equivalent security and, upon acceptance of his or her tender, will acquire Shares by conversion, exchange, or exercise of such equivalent security to the extent required by the terms of the Offer to Purchase, and will deliver or cause to be delivered the Shares so acquired for the purpose of tender to the Fund within the period specified in the offer. Section 14(e) and Rule 14e-4 provide a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.

The acceptance of Shares by the Fund for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and the Fund upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer to Purchase, including the tendering shareholder’s representation that the shareholder has a “net long position” in the Shares being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 and that the tender of such Shares complies with Rule 14e-4.

-10- 

12. Backup Withholding Tax. Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, the Depositary may be required to apply back up withholding against the amount of any reportable payment made to certain holders pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. In order to avoid such backup withholding tax, each tendering U.S. shareholder who has not already submitted a correct, completed and signed Form W-9 to the Fund should provide the Depositary with the shareholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing a Form W-9, a copy of which is included in this Letter of Transmittal. In general, if a U.S. shareholder is an individual, the TIN is the individual’s Social Security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the U.S. shareholder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. If the tendering shareholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future and payment of the purchase price of Shares is made within 60 days of the receipt by the Depositary of the Form W-9, the Depositary is not required to withhold any backup withholding tax from the payment. Certain U.S. shareholders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements, but should nonetheless complete a Form W-9 to avoid the possible erroneous imposition of a backup withholding tax.

In order for a non-U.S. shareholder to avoid the backup withholding tax, the non-U.S. shareholder must submit a Form W-8BEN (attached), a Form W-8BEN-E (attached) or other appropriate form, or otherwise establish an exemption from such withholding. Instructions for Form W-8BEN can be found on the Internal Revenue Service website at: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8ben.pdf. Instructions for Form W-8BEN-E can be found on the Internal Revenue Service website at: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8bene.pdf. Even if a non-U.S. shareholder establishes an exemption from backup withholding, payments made to a non-U.S. shareholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be applicable under a tax treaty). See Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase.

Backup withholding tax is not an additional U.S. federal income tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding tax will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If back up withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, the shareholder may claim a refund from the Internal Revenue Service. All shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the Offer to Purchase.

The tax information set forth above is included for general information only and may not be applicable to the situations of certain taxpayers.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE FORM W-9, IRS FORM W-8BEN OR ANOTHER APPROPRIATE FORM MAY RESULT IN BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% ON ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO YOU PURSUANT TO THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR A COPY OR FACSIMILE HEREOF) PROPERLY COMPLETED AND BEARING ORIGINAL SIGNATURE(S) AND THE ORIGINAL OF ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEE(S), SHARES (IN PROPER CERTIFICATED OR UNCERTIFICATED FORM) AND OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY, OR A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
