Jump To Comment: 1 2 3What will minister Ryan do when Shell and the other oil companies tell him that the state taxes are too high and they can sell their OIL and GAS in foriegn markets for greater profit?
They can legally claim that the Irish Government gave the OIL and GAS to them for nothing.
THE GREENS ARE CONTINUING THE FIANNA FAIL CRIME.
Fianna Fail caused this crime and Fine Gail are silent, Labour is wimpering and they are all looking for your votes.
Is it any wonder that the country is going down the road of returning to slavery. This time it will be multinational as well as british who will be our masters.
Who is to blame?-==THE SILENT PUBLIC AND MEDIA. We have allowed political criminals to corrupt this country, now we are letting them bring in Hungarian-Romanian fascist thugs to violently assault peacefull Irish citizens that only seek truth and justice and the protection of their childrens health and future.
TERRY DOWNES and JAMES FARRELL are traitors to their country for this crime and should be treated as such. Are Irish thugs not evil enough for their purposes?
OH I FORGOT WE ARE ALL IN THE EUROPEAN UNION NOW. The union that will ensure that its people's civil rights will be protected.
LISBON TWO GIVE IT THE SHOE.
We need a Union of HONESTY, TRUTH AND JUSTICE. Present the people with with a treaty that contains these basic aspirations and we can all agree.
They all ignore the political crimes that are happening in Rossport, and allow the Irish Government to deny the people the right of United Nations ( Aarhus Convention ) International law.
BRING YOUR ANGER TO THE POLITICAL TRAITORS.
If Ireland had copied Norway it would be sitting pretty like Norway is now.
In May of 1963, Norway asserted sovereign rights over natural resources in its sector of the North Sea. Exploration started on July 19, 1966, when Ocean Traveler drilled its first well. Initial exploration was fruitless, until Ocean Viking found oil on August 21, 1969. By the end of 1969, it was clear that there were large oil and gas reserves in the North Sea. The first oil field was Ekofisk, produced 427,442 barrels of crude in 1980. Since then, large natural gas reserves have also been discovered.
The IMF places it third (and World Bank places it second) only to Luxembourg in wealth.

"When god made Norway he made the most beautiful country in the world.
But the job was only half finished.
He finished the job when he put the Norwegians in charge of it."
