Madam, – The Asgard Iis in the tender care of the State and being carefully restored. The Tall Ships will be gathering at Belfast, but missing the international pride of Ireland, Asgard II, which still lies at the bottom of the sea. The Government has collected the €3.2 million insurance money and despite the green light from surveyors has continued to ignore the loss. Shame, shame, shame! – Yours, etc,
ANTHONY PREVITÉ,
