Ireland 'close to oil billions'

The whole country is a bit faulty if you ask me...

Says the mostly underwater,finger in the dyke Dutchman. How's yer clogs today?

Unfortunately for your comment, I'm not a dutchman. The clue is in the name...

...jesus...

It's right what they say about the Irish, eh? As thick as shit - If not thicker...

@GeordieLegend.
Your parents were definitely siblings.
Do us a favour and eff off and play with your inflatable girlfriend.

Oh no's he's used the clapper man... thats how you can tell that he is really smart and an orginal thinker.

You're right, the clue's in the name - Geordie Leg-End .. or Bell-End.

Is amadán mór an Ollanach sin. Ireland is doing great in several fields of science... and who cares if you have a few pints of Guinness afterwards.

Ah good.

I hope the English don't steal it from them.

I hope Ireland becomes rich , builds a huge army and kicks the English out of Ireland.

Yeah let's see which company ends up running the show before we tell them it's ok to start gold plating their leprechauns.

The English as you call them are just as Irish as the fecks that run the drugs trade while singing Danny Boy.

My advise, and I know I'm wasting my breath anyway, is do not drill that oil, enough damage has been done by the oil and gas industry already, why cause more.

Pfft.

We'll just sell all rights to it to Shell or somebody like that for quick fix cash because it's "too expensive" and long term for us to develop it ourselves.

They'll suck it all up for export and we'll buy our own oil back off them like the retards we are.

It's happened before.

Ireland is clueless, Ireland is broken.

Do not doubt that the government of Eire is as fucked up as any other country.

I weep for my home and all we have given away.

What sort of dickhead are you? Ireland's a Republic, there are no English, except a few ex-pats, who mostly have Irish grandparents, living there. Northern Ireland's British by choice of the people who live there. I doubt if they really wanted to join the Republic anyone would stop them.

Cool, I didn't know we had a drug biz going. Do we sell to you Limeys?

great news for the Irish.

Typical terroist supporting yank!

You call your enemy a terrorist. Fine I'll call you a terrorist.

Well here's to George Washington (The Terrorist) who kicked the British out of their colonies in eastern America in 1782.

Rule Britannia my ass.....

Oil wells dont ruin anything.... go Ireland good for you

It seems as if every broken european country on the verge of ruin suddenly finds rich oil and/or natural gas ressources in their waters, always supported by this or that US company specialized in drilling. Greece first. Now Ireland. Now let's wait until Spain, Portugal and Italy start with that kind of news, too ...

thats enough to supply the world for just over three days

Celebration time

No more wars in the middle east

right

In 2010, daily consumption of oil in Ireland was 143100 barels per ONE day. If they will NOT export, it will last for them for 5,4 years.

Well said

Nope looking for a quick fix, times are tuff.
