I am not in a position to say whether or when the company referred to will commence drilling operations in any particular locality. Such a decision would be for the company and its associates, subject to the oil agreement and the terms of petroleum leases which have been or may be granted to the group.
So far as I am aware, there is no Irish capital involved.
