END OF THE ROAD FOR PETRONEFT INVESTORS?

Date: October 22, 2020 - Moneybags

PETRONEFT HAS utterly failed to deliver. Having raised big bucks from investors in 2006 on the basis of impressive production projections and stated proven and possible reserves of 100 million barrels in a Russian oilfield, the company never came close to delivering on its promises. Producing oil economically has proved beyond it and with assorted… Read more »

GREEN HANDLERS FOR HIRE

THOSE IRRESPONSIBLE leftists in the Green Party who seem to think they can change (save, even?) the world, cavilled predictably at the appointment of two joint chiefs of staff — Dónall Geoghegan and Anna Conlan — to the leader, Eamon Ryan.

DENIS O’BRIEN’S APPLIANCES

Date: October 8, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

A LIQUIDATOR has been appointed to a company called Demirca Ltd. Although not a familiar name, it turns out to be one of Denis O’Brien’s more forgettable ventures. Demirca was a subsidiary of Dinny’s radio conglomerate, Communicorp, which presumable explains the appointment to the board of the likes of Lucy Gaffney and Adrian Serle. Demirca… Read more »

QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES

Date: October 8, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

SÉamus Woulfe got filleted by the Irish Times for his deluded self-pity over Golfgate, but the judges’ favourite newspaper still blamed “successive governments going back more than a decade” for a more fundamental failure, ie the absence of a judicial council to deal with such situations.

THE HIGHLY regarded Irish Times Middle East correspondent, Micheal Jansen, recently summarised the so-called breakthrough of the United Arab Emirate (UAE)-Bahrain-Israel deal as something that would finish off the long-sought-after, two-state Israel-Palestinian solution.
