A Sligo Councillor is calling on the Government to grant a license to open Barryroe Oil and Gas Field.

 

It's thought the field, located off the Cork coast, could provide energy security for the entire country for many years to come.

 

It's described as a major undeveloped offshore resource.

 

Independent Ireland Cllr Michael Clarke says given what is happening in the Middle East, it's more important than ever to tap into this resource that's on our doorstep.
