On the 3rd of June 2013, as a result of a fall, Nathan Kirwan suffered a C4 spinal cord injury after he fell 30 feet from a tree just two weeks before he was due to graduate from the National Maritime College of Ireland as a Marine Engineer.
The Nathan Kirwan Trust was set up by his family and friends to raise money to aid his recovery. Now recovering in The Guttmann Institute in Barcelona, Nathan documents his progress through this blog Nathan’s Recovery Blog
On the 12th December Lend Lease FM at the NMCI organised a “Wear Your Christmas Jumper to Work Day” in aid of the Nathan Kirwan Trust. The day was a huge success and we were delighted to welcome Nathan’s brother, Darren, and sister, Aisling, to the college to join in with the festivities.
With the proceeds from refreshments bought in the canteen together with staff and student’s generous donations over €1,000 was raised for the Nathan Kirwan Trust.
Details of all upcoming events can be found on the Nathan Kirwan Trust Facebook page including details of the DIAMOND BALL which will be held on February 8th 2014 in the Rochestown Park Hotel, Cork. Tickets are €60 and available through Ticketmaster or by emailing diamondball2014@gmail.com
From all at the NMCI, we wish Nathan the very best with his recovery in 2014!

Providence: Barryroe Well
Nick Webb – 26 May 2013
Providence Resources’ oil find at Barryroe, off the coast of Cork, could generate taxes of €4.5bn over the life of the well, according to a new report from PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
This is the equivalent to the entire annual corporate tax take in Ireland for 2011, according to PwC.
The State, it says, would earn money from the corporate tax and from the windfall taxes generated by the huge find off the south coast.
The PwC report suggests that 10 finds equivalent to Barryroe would have the potential to generate 13,500 jobs during the development phase and 11,500 jobs during the production phase of these fields. An entire new specialist oil services industry would need to be developed near the south coast to cater for the oil fields.
The Barryroe find is a game-changer for the Irish oil industry, as it is the first commercial oil field discovered off Ireland.
Recent months have seen massive activity off Ireland’s coast with the arrival of Kosmos, Cairn Energy and other new parties seeking to explore for oil. Fastnet Oil & Gas last week announced surveys had revealed that its Kinsale acreage could potentially contain up to two billion barrels of oil.
The next two months will prove critical for the future of Tony O’Reilly’s Providence Resources. Results of drilling at its Dunquin well may come through in July, while the €400m-listed firm may also ink a deal to farm out a major chunk of its valuable Barryroe oil field off Cork.
Industry sources believe that Providence may be taken over by an oil major such as Petronas or Exxon if the Dunquin results are positive.
However, at the same time as all this exploration is under way, the Government is examining whether to hike taxes levied on oil finds.

Fastnet Oil says independent assessment established presence of significant potential.
An independent assessment of explorer Fastnet Oil and Gas’s Deep Kinsale target off the south coast indicates that it could contain 2.3 billion barrels of oil.
Fastnet said today that an independent assessment of the licence area by SLR Consulting established the presence of a significant potential “unrisked” resource in place of over 2 billion barrels.
The group said that SLR carried out the assessment in accordance with generally accepted international procedures.
In February, Fastnet agreed a deal with Petronas subsidiary Kinsale Energy to farm into the so-called “deep Kinsale prospect”. It lies deep below the existing Kinsale gas field, which has by now given up all but 3 per cent of its reserves.
As part of its deal with Kinsale Energy, Fastnet carried out engineering and geological studies and a wide-ranging, three-dimensional seismic survey.
Fatnet said the independent assessment confirms that oil-bearing sands encountered in the Middle and Lower Wealden wells drilled by Marathon in the early 1970’s occur in the same geological structure that hosts the shallow producing gas sands in the Kinsale gas field.
The Deep Kinsale structure covers an area of up to 162 square km.
“Deep Kinsale is a large anticlinal structure, which has the potential to contain a significant oil accumulation directly beneath the producing Kinsale gas field and the two platforms, in the Celtic Sea,” Fastnet founder shareholder John Craven said.
Earlier this month, the oil and gas company, which is focused on near term exploration acreage in Africa and the Celtic Sea, was awarded a new licensing option in the North Celtic Sea. The option covers blocks in the Mizzen Basin, known as East Mizzen, and the western end of the North Celtic Sea Basin, offshore Ireland.
