Irish Navy renews claims to Atlantic island of Rockall in flag showing ceremony

The Brits trying to steal(again) what may be Scottish oil/gas as they did in the north sea. Come 2014 when Scotland releases the shackles they will negotiate with Ireland and the Brits can F### off back to their little country.

Perhaps someone should have the Island Blessed ? Just in case Edna Kenny manages to exchange The Thing, for a couple of Old Left Winger`s, and Bishop or Two ;{

Rockall ? Ireland can`t even keep the English Weasel`s out of Grandmomma`s Chicken Coop :)

Lets take Rockall back. We'll give the Brits the Isle of Man. That'll keep them happy. Read, High Noon in Stewart.

Rock on Rockall!

Gerry Adams should prod the southies into building a platform on Rockall with adjustable steps - such a project to excite young uns creativity and chutzpah. Stop the muthers who glomb onto every sq inch - as they choose. Such a bold undertaking with hopes of jobs jobs jobs to prevent Erin's bleeding of her well educated talent.

Makes no sense. They make a big to-do of claiming a rock in the middle of nowhere, yet they daily give away Ireland to foreign migrants.

Much about nothing: The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea states, “Rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf.” The convention was ratified by all four states in dispute over the Rockall Plateau – Iceland on 26 January 1985, Ireland on 21 January 1996, the United Kingdom on 25 July 1997 and Denmark on 16 November 2004. In 1997, the UK Government declared that "The United Kingdom's fishery limits will need to be redefined based on St Kilda, since Rockall is not a valid base point for such limits under Article 121(3) of the Convention". This is the only example to date of a state voluntarily downgrading an insular feature to "a rock" and thus reducing the area of its claimed maritime zones.[

Maybe Moochelle will vacation there.

The Brits and their illegitimate German monarchy feel the need to claim every bit of land they can find and look at the damage they have caused the world over their land grabs! In their Island of Rockall Act 1972 they claimed it as part of Inverness-shire in North Britain even though it is much closer to Ireland and nowhere near North Britain!
