The provisions of the Community Employment Programme allow for funding by FÁS of Community Employment (CE) sponsors to employ participants and supervisors up to the last day of their 65th year, at which point the entitlement to a State Pension becomes available. Consequently, funding from FÁS for such participants ceases on their 66th birthday, in line with the aims and objectives of the programme.
