I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 12, 14 and 15 together. The information which the Deputy seeks is contained in the agreement which I have executed with the oil interests concerned, copies of which are being laid on the table of the House to-day.
The licensee under the agreement is Ambassador Irish Oil, Limited, a company registered in Ireland. The company is not at present engaged in the business of oil production but Ambassador Oil Corporation, which is a company incorporated in the U.S.A. and which will be closely associated with the operations of the licensee, has oil producing properties in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and North Dakota.
