Our rich resources
Vast quantities of gas and oil have been discovered under Irish waters in the Atlantic Ocean over the past 15 years.
The Government puts the value of these reserves at €420,000,000,000 – but this is a very conservative estimate. The real figure is likely to be much higher. Ireland is giving away vast quantities of our resources. Will someone please STOP THIS!
