REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Trustees of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees Share Ownership Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees Share Ownership Plan ("the Plan") as
of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for each of the three years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and
2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's trustees.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2006
and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006, 2005 AND 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees
      Share Ownership Plan ("Plan") is provided for general information purposes
      only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
      information.

      GENERAL - The Plan is a share purchase plan established by Procter &
      Gamble (Manufacturing) Ireland Limited and Procter & Gamble Limited
      ("Companies") to provide a means for eligible Irish employees to tax
      efficiently purchase shares in The Procter & Gamble Company ("Parent").
      The Plan is administered by Mercer Limited who were appointed by the
      Trustees of the Plan and who hold the Plan assets on behalf of the
      Trustees of the Plan.

      CONTRIBUTIONS - Employees can contribute up to 2.5% of their base salary.
      The participating Procter & Gamble companies (see note 7) match all
      contributions by employees in full.

      WITHDRAWALS - Participants may withdraw shares from the Plan at any time
      subject to the following Plan rules. Participants who withdraw shares from
      the Plan within 3 years of purchase become liable for income tax.
      Participants who withdraw shares from the Plan after 3 years can do so
      without attracting any income tax.

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Individual accounts are maintained for each plan
      participant. Each participant's account is credited the participants'
      contribution, the participating Procter & Gamble companies' (see Note 7)
      matching contribution and allocations of Plan earnings, and charged with
      withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses. Allocations are based on
      participant earnings or account balances as defined. The benefit to which
      a participant is entitled is limited to the shares that can be provided
      from the participant's account.

      VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the
      participating companies' (see Note 7) matching contributions and earnings.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements have been
      prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

      EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Investment management expenses and all other fees
      and expenses are paid by the participating Procter & Gamble companies (see
      note 7).

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
      the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes
      therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The plan invests in The Procter & Gamble Company and J.M. Smucker Company
      common stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various
      risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to
      the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is
      reasonably possible that changes in values of investment securities will
      occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the
      amounts reported in the financial statements.

      INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION - The Plan's investment in The
      Procter & Gamble Company common stock and J.M. Smucker Company common
      stock is stated at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices and
      is translated into Euros at the rate of exchange at 30 June.

      Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
      Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

3.    INVESTMENTS

      The Plan's investment in The Procter & Gamble Company and J M Sucker
      Company common stock experienced net (depreciation) appreciation in value
      as follows for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004:

                                                   2006        2005       2004
                                                 (Euros)     (Euros)    (Euros)

      Unrealized (depreciation) appreciation    (20,127)   (119,699)   147,182
                                              ---------   ---------  ---------

4.    TAX STATUS

      The Irish Tax Authority has determined and informed the Companies that it
      is an approved Employee Share Scheme under Irish tax legislation.
      Therefore, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and
      tax-exempt as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and no provision for income taxes
      has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

5.    DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

      Distributions payable represent dividends and proceeds from disposals owed
      to participants and were (euro)37,885 and (euro)16,484 at June 30, 2006
      and 2005, respectively. Dividends received by the plan are separately
      payable to participants in accordance with the Plan agreement.

6.    ACCRUED ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Included within accrued administrative expenses are amounts owed to
      participating Procter & Gamble companies (see Note 7) of (euro)Nil,
      (euro)2,062 in 2005.

7.    PARTICIPATING PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANIES

      The participating Procter & Gamble companies are as follows:

      o  Procter & Gamble (Manufacturing) Ireland Ltd;
      o  Procter & Gamble Ltd;
      o  Procter & Gamble (HABC) Ltd;

8.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      respectively, of common stock of The Procter & Gamble Company, the
      sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of (euro)2,394,280 and
      (euro)2,213,384, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005
      and 2004, the Plan recorded dividend income from The Procter & Gamble
      Company common stock of (euro)52,265, (euro)28,562 and (euro)29,376,
      respectively.

9.    PLAN TERMINATION

      Although the Companies have not expressed any intent to do so, the
      Companies have the right under the current Plan rules to terminate the
      Plan. Upon termination, amounts held by the Plan would be distributed to
      participants based upon the Plan rules.


THE PLAN.  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the trustees (or other persons who administer the employees benefit plan) have
duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Dublin, Ireland, on the _____ day of
September 2006.
