A: Irelands Oil and Gas Resources
Despite Ireland having large volumes of oil and gas resources, most people in Ireland are of the opinion that we are a resource poor country. This workshop aims give participants practical knowledge about Ireland’s oil and gas resources, with a focus on how those resources are currently used and looking at who is profiting from these resources. With the Irish Government estimating our oil and gas resources to be worth over 400 billion euros, this workshop is important for anyone with an interest in environmental, social and/or economic issues.
This will be a participatory workshop, which aims to inform participants of and explore:
How much oil and gas we have.
Where it is (how many more Rossports will we have?).
How much is it worth and who profits?
Security of supply issues
Alternatives to the current system.
The workshop will be open to all, and will be useful for people with all levels of knowledge on this issue, from no idea what any of the above is about, to people who have a good idea, but want to know more.
Dublin Shell to Sea will be facilitating this workshop.
All of the information given at the workshop has been reliably sourced, referenced and is based on government official figures.
