The Minister of State, Deputy McHugh, is probably aware of the activities of Tamboran Resources in Belcoo over the last seven or eight weeks. It came like a thief in the night and announced that it was going to start exploratory drilling. Thankfully, the Northern Ireland Minister, Arlene Foster, stopped the company's work because the quarry it was going to drill in Belcoo did not have planning permission. Tamboran Resources is now taking legal action against the Northern Ireland Executive. Have we learned anything from that and from the actions of Tamboran Resources? I refer to the activities it is about to engage in against the Six Counties.
