Enda Kenny's speech
'a bright new day where there is no gap, where the people and its Government are one again, a day when our people are united in cause.
"This is the first day of a journey to a better future. That future will be achievable when Ireland can again take charge of its own destiny."
That challenge is truly Ireland's call. The Government and I intend to answer that call and to make our nation proud, prosperous and respected again. That works starts today," he said.

So Enda does this mean you are going to reclaim our resources?

The relevant clause is available on the website of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources:

‘’The Minister may, for such period as the Minister deems necessary, require that specified exploration, exploitation, production or processing activities should cease…subject to conditions which the Minister may specify, in any case where the Minister is satisfied that it is desirable to do so in order to reduce the risk of injury to the person, waste of petroleum or damage to property or the environment. No claim for compensation may be made against the Minister on foot of any such requirement.’’
