DUBLIN (AFX) – The Irish government offered Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Island Oil and Gas licences to drill deepwater areas of the Atlantic Ocean.
Marine and natural resources minister Noel Dempsey said that the 16-year licences had been offered for offshore exploration in the North East Rockall Basin area, off Ireland’s northwest coast.
Most of Ireland’s Atlantic offshore remains to be explored for gas, but the country is believed to have no offshore oil.
Dempsey said only two applications had been received by the May 31 deadline this year.
‘The areas applied for comprised seven blocks, amounting to approximately 1,650 square kilometres, 10 percent of the total area on offer,’ Dempsey said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
