The community services programme is important. The way it always worked was that the minimum wage was paid to each company, along with the employers' PRSI, for all participants, plus a grant for the manager. In certain cases, there was supplementary funding. That continued to be the way until 2014. Since then, however, the system has changed and companies must now come up with funding themselves to supplement the grant provided to pay the minimum wage. Will this continue?
