The Social Economy Programme transferred to my Department on 1st January 2006. The amount of funding which transferred matched the existing liabilities within the programme. There are currently 1,654 positions funded under what has been renamed the Community Services Programme.

It is expected that there will be approximately 600 extra places funded in 2007.
