My Departments Community Services Programme, or CSP, currently supports more than 400 community organisations to provide local services through a social enterprise model.  CSP funding is provided as a fixed annual contribution to the cost of an agreed number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions and a manager, where warranted.  The CSP co-funding contribution towards employing each FTE is €19,033 per annum and €32,000 per annum for managers. 

The CSP allocation for 2020 is €46.89m, an increase of 5% would cost an additional €2.34 million per annum and would result in a revised allocation of €49.23m.
