Experts allay oil spill fears for Ireland

EXPERTS have moved to ease concerns that the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster could end up contaminating Ireland’s western seaboard via the Gulf Stream.

International oil experts fear that the vast oil contamination which originated in the Gulf of Mexico could eventually spread out into the Atlantic Ocean.

Research by the American-based National Center for Atmospheric Research has projected that oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico might soon extend along thousands of miles of the Atlantic coast and open ocean as early as this summer.
