    Can anyone elighten me , if we have a claim on Roackall or Rockhall and the assets, why have we not claimed it. I admit I am totally ignorant on this issue, but if we can be as rich as Saudia Arabia. I want my share :) .

    I don't know much about this myself but if someone has bought the exploration rights to that area then they own it.

    I must disagree, Queen Elizabeth has AFAIK claimed sovereignty sometime in the 1970's but that would not stand up in my my book, and as far as i know no one has the exploration rights :confused: .

    Well, God bless Eddie Fullerton(RIP), for I am sure he must have had a true belief that it belongs to us. If that is the case it is now time for our Government to to stake a legal claim on our behalf.
