I like you wonder what purpose our two new directors serve. I thought too we may have heard something about them, or from them. May be their appointments are strategic.
I can’t see the bigger picture at the moment.

Remember Nephin Energy? Corrib "43.5% non-operating interest in the field, making us the largest stakeholder in the project."
Brian O’Cathain, Non-Executive Director
Brian has worked as a geologist and petroleum engineer in the oil and gas sector since 1984. He started his career as a petroleum engineer with Shell International. He was employed at Enterprise Oil for 12 years, where his final role was as Managing Director of Enterprise Oil Ireland, responsible for the sanction of the Corrib Gas Field Development. He was the Head of International Business with Tullow Oil from 2002 to 2005. He served as the founding CEO of Afren plc from 2005 to 2007, and as CEO of Petroceltic International plc, an AiM listed E&P company focused on North Africa from 2007 until 2016. He is currently also a non-executive director of two AiM-listed exploration and production companies, Eland Oil and Gas, which produces over 25,000 barrels of oil per day in Nigeria, and Europa Oil and Gas, which holds a portfolio of Irish oil and gas exploration licences.

Under statement of the year.

I wonder what is genuinely holding it up now, and how many companies have shown an interest to farm in?

I'm begining to think I'd settle for anyone, it's dragged on so long.

Any idea of time scale for DCCAE’s next move?

I have to agree oilisthefuture as much as it grieves me to do so, same old, same old.

Down over 8% today such a shame, I really thought we'd turned a corner.

It appears to be losing momentum.

Has Hugh passed comment on this Bill and whether he thinks our investments are safe?

Definition, Popcorn In an internet forum, this is when somebody posts something either highly controversial or just plain ignorant or stupid in a forum thread, ... Yes I believe you to be Ignorant Swampy

I hope you're right. I suspect this may mean at least another 3 months without any news of a farm in partner.

I agree, can't imagine another placing, more dilution.

You'd think all parties concerned would be pushing things along, beggars belief, with so much debt.

Just reading, thought Ireland would be pleased for some Tax revenue from the oil & gas sector.

"Ireland has the 25th highest level of debt of any country in the world, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg, with total outstanding sovereign debt of $223.9 billion. "

I think this is just going to drag on for some considerable time, but usually money talks, we all need it in the end including Ireland probably,

PET Statement is probably the closest thing to the truth I've heard, the Irish Goverment don't exactly seem that keen to exploit their countries resourses.

I hope you are wrong too, but like you I can't get my head around the fact if it is so good, why is it still sitting around.

I had hoped Paul would have had some idea as to what was going on.

"I'm of the opinion that if our licences and the geology was that compelling we would have more than one major chomping at the bit and this would be a done deal by now....."

This it what concerns me now,

Just curious, give this a thumbs up if you still think Ireland is a Company maker, Thanks.
