The Kildare centres for the unemployed in Leixlip, Athy and Newbridge are currently funded by FÁS through the community employment scheme. Community employment funding to projects is provided for wages, training and materials. The grant amounts for training and materials-administration are fixed by reference to participant numbers. The total funding being allocated by FÁS to the community employment projects sponsored by the County Kildare centres for the unemployed is about €650,000.
