YAS! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!

(funny there is no word on RTE about this considering all the jobs and revenue this will generate for ireland.)

Cue years of protests by tree hugging free loaders who think it is bad for the environment and an 8 figure garda overtime bill

C'mere a sec... what's this 'Ireland' business, bai?

fishy fishy · 15-03-2012 10:57AM

Ireland owns 100% of the oil according to the constitution. Our problems are over.

Surveys are also continuing for possible mining locations in Wicklow & Wexford.

We all remember the fuss that was made over a few trees in The Glen O' The Downs,imagine if they start mining the area?

Hope the fuck this shower don't do a Bertie on it & sell away the rights to the oil for a quick buck.

Didn't Ray Burke sell off these rights in the late 80s? Not 100% sure, mind.

Tony O'Reilly, chief executive of Providence, said flow rates of 3,514 bopd have been discovered at 100-metre depth in the North Celtic Sea Basin.

"The well has also confirmed that the basal sands are laterally continuous, highly productive and that the oils are of a very high quality," he said.

AJF Junior? I've got a bad feeling about this....

Short term boost to Providence share price.
Providence and Independent Newspapers both partowned by the O'Reilly family.

Expect this news to be forgotten about in a week, and a 'field not viable' paragraph hidden at the bottom of page 37 sometime in July.

Jock and JR are flying in from Dallas to see what all the fuss is about.

This is unlikely to improve petrol prices or do anything about the recession. Thats just how things are done here. A big company will be making millions from our oil and we'll see no benefit.

They would want to be complete idiots who hate Ireland and everyone in it to even consider such a thing.

And now America will try and invade, or our country will give it away!

petrol prices are always set by the global market. Of course it will help fight the recession as it will increase jobs and exports.

You do realise that the US now has a valid reason to bomb the **** out of Ireland.

Already done I'd say. The first drop of oil wasn't out of the pump by the time Inda was on the phone to the Swedes.

Stig av vårt land, detta är vår olja.
