Coiste an Asgard, which is a body under the aegis of my Department, received €800,000 in National Lottery funding in 2009. The previous Government decided in the context of settling the Estimates for the Department of Defence for 2010 that the national sail training scheme operated by Coiste an Asgard would be discontinued as recommended in the Report of the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure, and therefore no National Lottery funding was awarded to Coiste an Asgard in 2010.
