No. 2410B is from Mr. Pat Meehan, chief executive, National Oil Reserves Agency, NORA, dated 25 September 2019, replying to our request for an information note on the agency's compliance with the EU's oil stocks directive.
We were referring to the Brexit situation. It gives an indication of how much oil is held in the State. When we wrote to the agency, two thirds was in the State and quite a bit was in the UK. Since then, based on this letter, some of it has come on shore. Most of it is stored in Ringsend and Tarbert. It hopes to bring in further facilities for storage in the coming years.
