    Drilling at the controversial oil well at Woodburn Forest in Co Antrim has begun. The project has been greeted with dismay in the community with grave concerns about the proximity of drinking water supplies to the site.

    1. A hole will be drilled in the ground to look for oil. No different then than drilling a hole for water then.
    2. A casing will be placed in the borehole & then grouted. No different then than drilling for water then.
    3. Borehole will be grouted or capped off when investigation is completed. No risk then to the environment.

    What's the problem? Don't see why everyone is "gravely" concerned. Sounds very dramatic to be honest.
