I propose to take Questions Nos. 573 and 574 together.

The bodies under the aegis of the Department are the Civil Defence Board, the Board of Coiste an Asgard and the Army Pensions Board. The information requested in relation to the yearly budgets and number of Board members is as follows:

The Report of the Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure published in July 2009 recommended that the National Sail Training Scheme operated by Coiste an Asgard be discontinued and as a result no funding was provided in 2010.
