Well done!

My Norwegian friends said this is old news and the drilling is still going ahead.

And can anyone blame them for not wanting to ruin this area of natural beauty. Good for the current Govt that they are taking an ethical approach!

It's OK, it appears some Gobshites gifted them Irish fields off our west coast for a few shiney beads and directorships, that will keep them busy for a century. They'll get around to the Artic later

Environmentalists win again.
