Specific Details That Community Service Programmes would be refunded the extra weekly wage cost of €1,100 per full time employee by the Department Of Social Protection as it was due to the Government's recent increase in the minimum wage.

Intended results In 2016 the Dept of Social Protection would pay Community Service Programmes enough grant to cover the minimum wage for all employees so the various projects would a have few months to discuss options within their communities on how or who would pick up on the services they had provided over the past 10 years or so.
