Irish sail training scheme stopped for good

Tabnabs

Remember Asgard 2 sank in Biscay and the government promised something would be done to get the scheme back up and running? Oh, and the insurance company said they were happy to pay out on the claim of the value of the Asgard 2?

In Programme D - Defence policy (page 41) of "an bord snip's" report;

"Close the sail training scheme (Asgard II)" saving €0.8 million.



As the fat cartoon pig said,

"That's all folks..."




Remember that a FF & Green party government put the final nail in the coffin of the Irish sail training scheme!!! :mad:

And just where did all that insurance money go...?

.8 million?


Wasn't the insurance payout like 2.3?

An Bord Snip Nua is a joke, I want to go on a sail training ship next year, but it looks like I'll Be going on the English Yacht, The Lord Rank, at least the British Government won't shut it down.

A foundation/charity should be set up to run sail training in Ireland.
I feel much better after that rant!

up them Schteps

Meh. More banter to be had at sailing courses i'd imagine than a big green tub!
