Great positive news. Further details obviously to come but a great step forward into building something special here.

Nearly there .

Good article from April if you’ve not read it yet -

Attorney-general's gas concern over vulnerability of energy supply

Ireland faces European Commission fines because of its lack of energy security and has underplayed the vulnerability of its gas supplies, according to a assessment by the attorney-general’s office.

It criticises the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE) for failing to seek a derogation from a 2017 EU directive that requires all countries to be able to meet their gas demands if main infrastructure fails.

The office of the attorney-general said Ireland only met the required standard if it was considered along with the UK, but this would not apply after Brexit.

It claims that the DCCAE has not adequately communicated the gas supply risks faced by Ireland.

The assessment found the possibilities of being fined by the EU or of losing supply were not well understood by the general public or elected representatives, who want a ban on exploration for all fossil fuels.
Last year the taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that Ireland would ban further oil exploration in Irish waters. The attorney-general’s office is concerned that the Oireachtas could extend the ban to gas exploration and production.

The analysis found that DCCAE relied on an Eirgrid resilience study that was “fundamentally flawed” because it did not assess the impact of Brexit on Irish energy suppliers while concluding Ireland had no problems with security of gas supply. This was despite being able to meet only 37% of demand on its own.

The attorney-general’s analysis is that Brexit may put the state in a vulnerable position, and society could be at risk in the event of disruption to gas supplies.

The analysis found the department’s public stance that Ireland did not have a security of gas supply problem was “not accurate or correct”.

It said a consequence of this was a “high risk” the Dail would ban gas exploration.

A report by the Irish Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) — which has been published on the European Commission’s website and marked “confidential” — shows that even after further infrastructure work on Irish gas pipelines to the UK, Ireland will meet only 85% of the EU’s required supply standard in the event of a partial disruption.

The attorney-general’s report noted that Ireland faced increased demands for energy from data centres and electric cars, even as it was decommissioning the production of electricity from coal and peat.

With the Corrib gas field coming to the end of its lifetime, the attorney-general said Ireland was unlikely to meet the EU’s standard for gas supplies without new discoveries.

The department appeared to rely on an “understanding” from the European Commission that it would not instigate infringement proceedings for breaches of EU rules on security of gas supplies because of Brexit.

The attorney-general warned it was not “prudent” to place faith in the c

RNS - certainly makes us a little more attractive.

ODX/MOLOGIC are concerned with only the lab based test. Home based test different,obviously difficult to achieve but it has to be right. Hopefully news soon.

Just read that myself. Good spot and could be very important !!

razel

Thanks for that and will do.
I’ll be topping up here very soon and get my holding back. Just need some profits from a few Covid stocks.
Regards.

I only got a bit peeved as I have managed to do rather well over the years from following other people’s tips and I mentioned PRD and KDNC as genuine good potential companies which are undervalued and have great possibilities. As of course I hope WRES will be. We are all in the game to make money and a bit of civility goes a long way. Regards.

155p paid. Much more positive and people realising the potential here. Good luck.

KDNC that I kindly mentioned to you just a few days ago was up yesterday and top of the risers today. Even though I was blanked for daring to put up another share on this board and only this one I hope someone looked at it. Good luck.

Good opening coming.

I mentioned PRD to you all a few weeks ago and I hope a few of you had a look. Just want to draw your attention to KDNC this morning. Big RNS just landed. Just trying to help and still in here at WRES and our day will come. Good luck.

Massive RNS. Well done.

Does what it says on the tin

OXFORD, England & BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blue Earth Diagnostics, a Bracco company focused on molecular imaging diagnostics, today announced that its CEO, Dr Jonathan Allis, has been appointed as Chair of the UK Rapid Testing Consortium (UK-RTC) for COVID-19 by the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). The UK-RTC has been formed to draw upon the expertise and resources of the UK’s life sciences industries in a combined effort to design and develop a home use antibody test to determine whether people have developed antibodies (and perhaps, potential immunity) after contracting and recovering from COVID-19. It combines the science of Oxford University with the development and manufacturing skills of four UK diagnostic companies: Abingdon Health in England, BBI Solutions in Wales, Omega Diagnostics in Scotland and CIGA Healthcare in Northern Ireland. In his role as Chair of the UK-RTC, Dr Allis will serve as an independent liaison between the participating diagnostic companies and the government. The part-time engagement is of a limited duration, during which time Dr Allis will retain his responsibilities as CEO of Blue Earth Diagnostics. The UK-RTC Chair is independent of the diagnostic companies involved, and Blue Earth Diagnostics is not otherwise engaged in this initiative.

“When the DHSC invited me to chair a consortium to develop a COVID-19 antibody test based on new technology developed at Oxford University, and in light of the urgency of the COVID-19 health crisis worldwide, I felt it was my absolute duty to say ‘yes,’” said Jonathan Allis, D. Phil, CEO of Blue Earth Diagnostics. “Testing for the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (antigen testing) and immune response after COVID-19 (antibody testing) is possible in large hospital and public and private labs now, but what we really need is a home test (somewhat similar to a home pregnancy test), which can be used to test the whole population. This would help us understand how much of the population has been exposed to the virus and help determine plans for people getting back to work.”

Govt promise antibody tests

A good strong finish by the looks

2 million buy is good to see.

Potential to hit 20p this afternoon. Much more positive.

RNS sounds good.
