evidence: Rockall, a tiny disputed island in the North Atlantic off the Irish and Scottish coasts is at the center of a crisis between the Irish and Scottish governments. There are lucrative fishing grounds in the area as well as possible oil and gas deposits. The Scots claim Rockall is United Kingdom territory and Irish fishermen cannot come closer than the 12- mile international limit. The Irish government says the tiny rock just 80-yards long and 100-yards wide is not an international boundary but just a large uninhabitable rock in the ocean. [...] Ireland’s foreign minister Simon Coveney stated "We have never recognized UK sovereignty over Rockall and accordingly we have not recognized a territorial sea around it either. We have tried to work positively with the Scottish authorities and to deal with sensitive issues that flow from it in a spirit of kinship and collaboration.
