Joe O'Brien (GP), Dublin Fingal

I thank the Deputy. Some CSP projects do pay the living wage and beyond. It is now clearly a social enterprise model. That is the policy. To assist that we have a coaching and mentoring programme that will be put in place under the ESF Plus social innovation measure to assist organisations to improve their overall performance including financial sustainability.
I will explain the increases in allocations I announced last December. A full-time equivalent at the higher rate of funding would increase from €23,033 to €25,750. The manager's contribution at the higher level would rise from €36,000 to €37,000 and, in addition, the contribution on the medium level of funding has increased from €21,033 to €23,175, and from €34,000 to €35,000 for a manager on the medium level of funding.
