Barryroe Offshore Energy Share Discussion Threads

This is a typical Irish political shake down . Larry had his sights on this and he will definitely push to extract the oil and gas. A agricultural organisation sowing seeds of the benefits of the barryroe field is just the start of it and with a new government coming soon it will be granted the license.

Them greens would have to be muzzled before such a conversation could be had. The children have to be sent to bed...

So if Ireland were able to export Barryroe Oil and gas to the UK, would that not reduce our Green footprint as well or is that too simple?

Good to note the Farmers Alliance speaking out, with the next election now within sight, a manifesto pledge to develop indigenous resources I am sure would be well received,...Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications Mr. Eamon Ryan recently announced doubling our climate finance fund to €225 million next year. We in Farmers Alliance believe that money would be better spent in Ireland.Ireland contributes to less than 0.01% of global emissions. We feel this is very minuscule in comparison to other countries like China with global emissions near 31%, USA near 14%, and India over 7%. In fact Ireland is not even in the top 20 countries for high global emissions.Ireland is punching above its weight contributing that amount of money when we are at the bottom of the list of global emitters. We believe that money should be spent to establish our own energy security in Ireland, which in turn will reduce our carbon footprint even further instead of importing energy from other countries. We should become self sufficient in energy.Barryroe in West Cork is an undeveloped oil and gas field in the Atlantic ocean due south of county Cork reported to have over 300 million barrels of oil. Our Mininster Eamon Ryan refused to grant a licence for the exploration of this oil field, instead he prefers to throw away our money to other countries while Ireland is falling apart. A Farmers Alliance spokesperson from West Cork who knows the Barryroe area well understands the potential this oil field has to offer, not only for the people of West Cork, but for our country to have energy security. "Extracting oil here in Ireland rather than the UK or any other country will at least remove the carbon footprint associated with the importing of fossil fuels".According to Helen O Sullivan "This will create huge employment for Barryroe and the surrounding areas while providing us with a secure energy source. Wind energy is not reliable, we only have to look at 2021 when Moneypoint Power Station had to be fired up as there was not enough wind for the turbines to function. This is not a reliable source of energy". She went on to say "we need to look at fossil fuels, we cannot survive without it. We need to feed a rising global population, fuel vehicles and industry that is needed to keep this globe functioning. Relying solely on wind energy will not be sufficient."Ireland consumes around 50 million barrels of oil per year, Barryroe would help Irelands energy crisis but our Minister for the Environment Mr Eamon Ryan refuses to grant a license to make this happen. His green ideology is 'let's just import everything into this country to make Ireland look green'. This is contributing to more global warming by not using our own resources! Apparently it is green to transport two shiploads of wood chip from Brazil, along with peat from Latvia, briquettes from Germany, etc.Ireland is underestimated when it comes to energy security. We can do so much more if our government had the political will to do so. Excluding the Celtic Sea that includes the Barryroe field, the Atlantic alone is estimated to contain the potential equivalent of around 10 billion barrels of oil. This is spilt between 6.5 billion barrels of oil and 20 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This would provide Ireland with around 130 years of Irish sourced oil and 108 years of Irish sourced gas. "It is not rocket science what Ireland needs to do to secure energy for its country and become less reliant on imports of gas and oil" according to the Farmers Alliance spokesperson.

So are we now finished or are we still waiting for a LOGP result?

[mcbull] 05/12/2023 16:57

I still find it hard to beleive that they can close us down while Landsdowne Oil and Gas is still trading.

Likewise, the Hypocrisy of COP28 in breathtaking along with his 80,000 close friends topping up their winter suntan for free, before Christmas.

[hermana3] 04/12/2023 07:30

Mc, Will match yer £1K contribution to fund. This is simply not good enough.

[cephalosaurus] 03/12/2023 19:23

Ryan’s jet? This is very funny

[mcbull] 03/12/2023 17:10

Happy to add 1K to the fund

[jotoha2] 02/12/2023 17:16

Very happy to contribute around £5k to nail this tea leaf.

[curly17] 02/12/2023 16:37

Our company has been taken from us for a few million euros by the actions of a Government minister, not following government policy but green party policy. The shareholders should instigate a class action to recover the money they have lost If some younger fitter holders start the ball rolling I will be glad to contribute cash. There are 10,000 shareholders are we going to be shorn like sheep.

At the same moment the traitor ryan is in sunny Dubai, having flown business class so he could arrive fresh and ready to pledge his allegiance to his WEF masters.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 | DONAL HORGAN | COMMENT IRELAND
THE GREEN CONTRADICTION
There is something unsettling about Green Party leader Eamon Ryan’s pen picture of himself as the genial man on the bike exhorting everyone in Ireland to grow more lettuce in window boxes.

This is particularly so when you consider that Ryan may well have a carbon footprint way in excess of the average Irish person.

A cursory examination of Eamon Ryan’s own work schedule in recent months shows him to be an inveterate flyer and carbon emitter. In March of this year, he flew to Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai to mark St. Patrick Day. The journey there and back is estimated to have accounted for the emission of 4.52 metric tonnes of carbon. In September, he flew to New York to address the U.N. on climate issues – that accounted for an additional 1.80 tonnes.

By the way, the average Irish person emits about 12.8 tonnes of carbon in an entire year but these two trips alone amounted to about 6.32 tonnes of carbon. These figures do not include travel to the COP28 conference in Dubai, the rest of his work schedule or indeed carbon emissions from his own private life. The inconvenient Green truth is that Eamon Ryan is probably a member of Ireland’s exclusive super carbon emitter club.

Yet, contradictions seem to be at the heart of what it means to be a Green Party supporter in Ireland these days. Reducing usage of fossil fuels makes a lot of sense from an environmental and economic point of view but surely any transition to other sources of energy must be managed and it is the Greens themselves who appear to be most opposed to any such managed transition.

There is widespread acceptance of the fact that wind, as a variable power source, needs a back-up power generation system. At present, this relies on fossil fuels such as gas although given the opposition by the Green Party to the proposed LNG facility in North Kerry, it is the Greens who are doing most to frustrate the development of that same backup.

It’s much the same with the development of the Barryroe oil field off the coast of Cork. The simple reality is that it is unlikely that there will be any feasible alternative to fossil fuels before 2050 so moral grandstanding gestures like bans on oil exploration or blocking the development of proven reserves at Barryroe only show how opposed to a sustainable and managed transition many of these people are.

We’ve been here before – a ban on Irish peat extraction might win brownie points for some but that means that the peat is now simply imported with additional carbon miles. Not developing the Barryroe oil reserves simply means paying Arabs and others for something we could supply ourselves.

It’s worth remembering that, with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Germany – home of the European Green movement – had no problem with restarting many of its coal-powered electricity generating plants. There is a sense that Ireland’s Greens would sooner let Irish people freeze rather than re-start its peat power plants. Not only that, they would in all probability be flying around the globe to climate conferences boasting about it too.

Ireland has committed to a 51% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030. Yet, this is at a time when the number of people – the carbon end users – is actually increasing. The Irish population increased from about 3.9 million in 2002 to 5 million in 2022 making this emission reduction target more difficult if not impossible.

Yet, the Green Party continues to actively promote the most destructive form of population increase of all in the form of economic migrants and refugees most of whom are entirely dependent on the State for all services. Meanwhile, the same Greens complain that Ireland is not doing enough and demand even more cuts to carbon emissions.

That most people applying for political asylum in Ireland now are not fleeing war is widely accepted. Nevertheless, Green Party Roderic O Gorman’s department continues relentlessly in its mission to place these same illegal migrants in towns and villages throughout the length and breadth of Ireland.

Equally, what started out as a humanitarian project aimed at assisting Ukrainians in the war-afflicted eastern part of that country has quickly evolved into what now looks like a massive tourism welfare scam for Ukrainians from safe parts of that vast country as well as those in other European countries.

O Gorman’s ‘ally’ in all of this is not the local philanthropist but rather the local gombeen man who, seeing a state-backed cash cow, has worked tirelessly to close the local hotel and repurpose it as an asylum or refugee centre. Indeed, there is something ironic in the fact that many of these asylum contractors’ ultimate dream of a top of the range gas-guzzling SUV is being enabled by none other than Green ideologue Roderic O Gorman.

Needless to say, O Gorman’s closure of much of the country’s tourist accommodation stock has had a devastating impact on local economies affecting downstream employers such as restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions.

Another effect was evident this summer when, with the removal of the budget accommodation sector in many areas, holidaying in Ireland became unaffordable not just for visitors from overseas but Irish people as well. Those Irish people taking to the planes for a holiday also included the same Greens whose policies were instrumental in forcing people to holiday overseas in the first place.

In the best Green tradition, there were the usual delusional offsets such as promising yourself to use paper straws while on holiday or having a Refugees Welcome banner in your social media bio. No one, it seems, quite does useless gestures like Ireland’s Greens.

The COP28 climate conference in Dubai provides Ireland’s long haul Greens with yet another opportunity to wear their concerned faces and once again remind the Irish people that they have to do better.

But surely, even they must now realise that the greatest impediment to the sensible Green aim of reducing carbon emissions now comes from …. other contradictory Green policies. Perhaps, after all, it’s Ireland’s Green Party which needs to do better.

The world is being hijacked by the woke dictator mob, bent on destroying freedom of speech. It's new 'religion' until the rest of the population wake up and end the madness

[peaeff] 29/11/2023 11:26

I read an article recently which stated brits are 'WARNED' not to eat tomato's during the coming winter months.

The reason?, not that there is anything wrong with them they are perfectly safe to eat BUT they have to be flown in by very large planes which are polluting our air and damaging the ozone layer.

HAS THE WORLD GONE COMPLETELY MAD. ENJOY YOUR SALADS BOYS.

Excerpt from today's Landsdowne's Chairman's statement "The Company will also track developments at Barryroe Offshore Energy, where an Examiner has been appointed. It has been reported that Barryroe Offshore Energy is considering a number of paths forward, including a potential Judicial Review in the Irish Courts, that might also lead to the Lease Undertaking being granted and the development of the Barryroe field to proceed"

[hermana3] 28/11/2023 19:28

Steel,The final detail in this sad debacle. That unctuous swine was lecturing the nation in The Dail today...

[steelwatch] 28/11/2023 13:31

Per Scheme of Arrangement:

"The documentation giving effect the Proposal will be prepared and distributed to Other Shareholders within 30 working days of the Effective Date".

The Effective Date was, per RNS 3/11/23:

"The Proposals have today been approved by the High Court which has set 8 November 2023 as the Effective Date for their implementation".

30 working days should be up 15 December.
