Reality checks are queuing up for Ireland like number 10 buses at the moment, so I would not discount the possibility of developments sooner than anticipated, we should also see more colour and context from Lansdowne in relation to their ECT claim in the very near future, so that added in the mix, should also benefit PRD,...GL S

MM-R, ref your point in regards to the Irish FOI act, having been directly involved in a number of the Barryroe debacle FOI's with the Irish Government and the DECC, each one of those without exception was turned around in circa 30 days, so should the company decide to share any information initially it is perhaps leaning towards mid February, ...GL S

MaB, taking into account the global oil events that are unfolding with Venezuela and also the ongoing crisis in Iran, there is every reason to believe we are on the cusp of a major opportunity horizon,

I have recently just returned from the US and whilst over there, I spent some time with a good friend who is an executive of EOG, who are also operating significantly in T&T and he was extremely upbeat in regards to T&T becoming a major regional player and fully expects a significant wave of investment into the sector, PG may well have played a blinder and deserves great credit for doing so, albeit in part inadvertently of global events that have subsequently unfolded,…GL S

Good question MM-R, and with news flow imminent on all fronts including Ireland, we will hopefully have the answers to answer that question in some detail, ..GL S

It’s no surprise to note that so far the government supported Irish MSM are avoiding Lansdowne’s news, when previously they were quick to point out that Lit funding had not been secured, I expect to see a material change in the PR strategy post Christmas and the holidays, as this will also be a key part of the RTO marketing,… GL S

It’s excellent news Spud,

It’s been almost forensic for SB and Lansdowne at times, but clearly worth it and securing non recourse funding of many times there mkt value is fantastic work from SB and it should also set a very important precedent for other Irish O&G non-domiciled companies, it’s going to be a very interesting 2026!..

Hopefully Lansdowne are very close to confirming that they have secured the necessary litigation funding to progress their ECT claim against the Irish government and with this in mind, I do wonder if this will be a trigger point for multiple claims to be progressed?, as it is easily identified that Ireland’s authorities have frustrated O&G licensing agreements and processes for a significant number of years, and ideological opinions have dominated the agenda, if Lansdowne do indeed confirm their plans imminently, surely this would be a very significant and positive development for PRD, any thoughts out there?,…GL S

Spud, I stand by the comments I made recently, but I fully understand the frustration from some shareholders, hopefully the clarity required is not too far away and I do believe the context required for shareholders to understand the time lines involved will also become very apparent, the due diligence associated with a process of this type is forensic, and for good reason, as I believe this will significantly increase the possibility of a successful outcome,...GL S

It’s not as make believe as you might think, I wish I could share more, but it would inappropriate to do so at this moment, hopefully some clarity will be provided in the days ahead, … GL S

Dear Santa,

Could I please ask you to be very kind to Lansdowne’s shareholders and could they receive a multi million dollar litigation investment from a global and best in class litigation funder, which will support their Barryroe compensation claim against the Irish government and may the ECT arbitration process be successful and the settlement awarded to Lansdowne and their consortium partners be in the £100’s of millions, thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄

Fwiw, I still have a very good feeling that Q4 is still achievable, but I understand the scepticism,...GL S

It certainly has all of the hallmarks of field expansion, which is great to see!,...GL S

Keith, agreed, I don’t believe we should overlook the experience SB has gained and the importance of the due diligence associated with the Lansdowne litigation journey, should also not be underestimated and based upon their recent RNS communication, I sense we are very close, to what I hope is a pivotal moment for their shareholders and all of those that are interested in Ireland’s indigenous O&G industry, especially the Predator team,.....GL S

Mr G, If Predator and their legal counsel decided that a claim under the ECT was appropriate, any international arbitration courts activity, would certainly not be held in Ireland, they would utilise one of a number of neutral cities and there are a number of Internationally recognised courts that can be used,....GL S

A bit more for me today, just have a hunch that next week should bring some news, especially on one particular topic,..GL S

Thank you DB, a very informative discussion with a good guy, it’s a pity there aren’t more Tom O’Brien’s in the DECC or the Irish energy ministries, if there was, there might actually be a coherent energy transition strategy,, that wasn’t crippling Irish citizens,..GL S

Btw, I like your theory in relation to a broader set of legal challenges, I also sense that is much closer than anyone understands.

Keith, if any country does leave, and some have, they have still abide by all terms and references of the ECT, for a period of up to 10 years, so I personally do not see that as an issue, especially when it is applied to Ireland's position,..GL S

I would be very surprised if any claim was led by an Irish domiciled legal firm, I would suggest you should think more along the lines of a globally recognised lit funding specialist, albeit I am sure there will be some in country requirements that would be delegated, but the lead lit funding counsel I doubt would be an Irish firm.

I think your thoughts around SB at LOGP are very pertinent, as they are at a very advanced stage, of what is now approaching an 18 month plus time line of litigation review, and I am sure some of the learnings taken in that process, would potentially help PG and the Predator team,...GL S
