I propose to take Questions Nos. 463 to 465, inclusive, together.
The information sought by the Deputy is set out in the table hereunder, all fees and rentals due have been paid in full. While applications for petroleum prospecting licences were submitted by the companies no such authorisations were granted due to the nature of the work programmes proposed. Maps showing the areas granted to the companies can be viewed at the following link:
