Stock option questions - sold years ago, what to do now?!

I appreciate you are not a tax adviser,
On the day I exercised the shares back in 2002 total value of shares where 20K, from this 8,800Euro value (44% income tax) 11,200Euro value (56% my cut)
Now these shares that where once worth 20K are now only worth in total 7K due to shares going down and exchange rate. So if I sold today I would get 7K but would still be short 1,800.
Thanks for advice
 

Yes, and you would have a capital loss of 13k to carry forward.
 
It's dead money unless and until you realise a capital gain, when you can offset your loss against that gain. See the revenue site for CGT details.
