A GROUP campaigning to change State oil and gas licensing terms has suggested that the Government should borrow low-interest loans from Norway’s oil fund, using Ireland’s offshore territory as “collateral”.
The Campaign for Protection of Resources (CPR), which Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan helped found while in opposition, has also urged Mr Ryan to halt what it describes as the “final giveaway” of 250,000 sq km on the Atlantic margin.
