Historical CRH Share Price

I am trying to find a share price for CRH on |February 1st 2002.

I have found two websites offering the information, however they are giving different information

Ise website states that the price was 18.10

http://www.ise.ie/Market-Data-Announcements/Companies/Equity-Details/?equity=517&start_day=1&start_month=2&start_year=2002

Meanwhile this CRH share price tool says the price was 16.38
http://www.crh.com/investors/share-price-tool?se=ise

A similar difference exists on other dates also.

Any idea why the discrepancy exists and which one would be accurate.
I need the information to calculate CGT.

Thank You
Kevin

The discrepancy most likely is the result of the scrip dividend. I know DWT is withheld on the scrip divi so the higher amount is most likely to be the correct amount to use to calculate CGT. There are several documents on the CRH website which discuss the scrip, alternately contact their shareholder relations department for a clear stear.

Thanks I will contact them if I can't get an answer here. - sorry SBWife just realized that this comment totally dismissed your answer! It was actually very helpful, I just don't fully understand yet!
