For three years now I have been highlighting the energy resources and mineral resources which belong to the Irish Nation on my website http://www.democratic-reform.ie which contains information about some of our resources. However what some seem to have missed is that from 2013 under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty, Europe gains “Joint Competence” in the area of energy management within the Irish Republic and our exclusive economic zone, which encompasses 24% of the European Continental Shelf. Perhaps you should highlight the above facts.
