andMr. McQuillan asked the Minister for Defence the number of training hours under sail, and the number of persons trained during such training hours in the present season in which the Asgard was used.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Use of Yacht for Training Courses.
65.
During the present season, the Asgard was used under sail for fifteen training hours and during such hours twenty persons underwent training aboard the vessel. Weather permitting, the Asgard will be in regular use for sail training during the remainder of the season.
Is the Minister satisfied this is the maximum optimum use that could be made of the boat since it was put into the water?
I could not answer that offhand but I am satisfied that it is being used satisfactorily.
Is it not a fact that this sailing took place only last week-end since the question was put down ?
I could not answer that.
