I can inform the Deputy that the Probation and Welfare Service has availed of places on board Asgard 2’s sail training programme for clients of the service since 2001. This has proven to be a very beneficial and worthwhile venture and the Probation and Welfare Service is anxious to continue providing such opportunities to its clients. There are no arrangements in place, at present, with regard to the Jeanie Johnston sail training programme. However, it is certainly something which could be considered in the future.
