Explanation of Responses:	
(  1) 	Each of Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore and TPSIF (collectively, the "Trian Option Holders") have entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions (the "Options") with two counterparties ("Counterparty 1" and "Counterparty 2") through which they acquired an economic interest in the indicated shares. In these transactions, simultaneously with the purchase of each call option from a counterparty, the Trian Option Holders also sold a put option to such counterparty for the same number of shares.	
(  2) 	(FN 1, contd.) Pursuant to the put option, if on the expiration date of the Options (which expiration date may be extended by Counterparty 1 or Counterparty 2, as applicable at its option, for 2 years or 18 months respectively, the "Expiration Date"), the exercise price per share of the call option were greater than the closing price of the shares on the Expiration Date (the "Closing Price"), then the counterparty would be entitled to cause the applicable Trian Option Holders, at their election, to either (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price per share pursuant to such option (the "Exercise Price") over the Closing Price and (b) the number of shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the counterparty the number of shares set forth above at the Exercise Price.	
(  3) 	(FN 2, contd.) The call options are exercisable into shares of common stock of the Issuer at any time, in whole or in part, prior to their expiration date. As part of these transactions, the Trian Option Holders pay each counterparty a financing fee based on the number of days that the Options that it holds are outstanding, which fee is calculated using a monthly rate equal to one month LIBOR plus an applicable spread.	
(  4) 	Trian Fund Management, L.P ("Trian Management") serves as the management company for Trian Partners, L.P. ("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. ("Parallel Fund I"), Trian Partners Master Fund (ERISA), L.P., ("Trian ERISA"), Trian Partners Strategic Investment Fund, L.P. ("TPSIF"), Trian Partners Strategic Investment Fund-A, L.P. ("Strategic Fund-A"), Trian Partners Strategic Co-Investment Fund-A, L.P. ("Coinvest Fund-A"), Trian IR Holdco Ltd. ("IR Holdco"), Trian SPV (SUB) VI, L.P. ("SPV VI") and Trian SPV (SUB) VI-A, L.P. ("SPV VI-A" and collectively, the "Trian Entities") and as such determines the investment and voting decisions of the Trian Entities with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by them.	
(  5) 	(FN 4, contd.) Mr. Peltz is a member of Trian Fund Management GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Trian Management, and therefore is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Trian Management on behalf of the Trian Entities. Accordingly, Mr. Peltz may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) the shares beneficially owned by the Trian Entities. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. Mr. Peltz is a director of the Issuer.

Exhibit 24.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY
Know all by these presents, that Nelson Peltz ("Principal") hereby constitutes and appoints each of Brian L. Schorr, Stuart I. Rosen and Stacey L. Sayetta, signing singly, the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1) complete and execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's capacity as (i) a director, and/or (ii) a 10% shareholder of Ingersoll-Rand plc (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder and Form 144 in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules thereunder; and
(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 or Form 144, complete and execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority.
The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16"). The undersigned hereby agrees on behalf of the undersigned and the undersigned's heirs, executors, legal representatives and assigns to indemnify, defend and hold each of the foregoing attorneys-in-fact harmless from and against any and all claims that may arise against such attorney-in-fact by reason of any violation by the undersigned of the undersigned's responsibilities under Section 16 or any other claim relating to any action taken by such attorney-in-fact pursuant to this Power of Attorney.
CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important document. As the "principal," you give the person whom you choose (your "agent") authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your authority to act even though you have given your agent similar authority. When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific instructions, in your best interest. "Important Information for the Agent" at the end of this document describes your agent's responsibilities. Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of Attorney before a notary public. You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are revoking a prior Power of Attorney by executing this Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to the financial institutions where your accounts are located. You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly. Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute a "Health Care Proxy" to do this.
The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly websites, www.senate.state.ny.us or www.assembly.state.ny.us. If there is anything about this document that you do not understand, you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until Principal is no longer required to file any of Form 3, 4 or 5 or Form 144 with respect to Principal's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by Principal in a signed writing delivered to any of the foregoing attorneys-in-fact. This Power of Attorney does not revoke or replace any other power of attorney that Principal has previously granted.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT: When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a special legal relationship is created between you and the principal. This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You must:
(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where there are no instructions, in the principal's best interest;
(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the principal's best interest;
(3) keep the principal's property separate and distinct from any assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;
(4) keep a record or all receipts, payments, and transactions conducted for the principal; and
(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the principal by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your own name as "agent" in either of the following manner: (Principal's Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for (Principal's Name).
You may not use the principal's assets to benefit yourself or give major gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has specifically granted you that authority in this Power of Attorney or in a Statutory Major Gifts Rider attached to this Power of Attorney. If you have that authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal's best interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this document, or the principal's guardian if one has been appointed. If there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you do not understand, you should seek legal advice.
Liability of agent: The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York's General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you have violated the law or acted outside the authority granted to you in the Power of Attorney, you may be liable under the law for your violation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of the dated specified below.
