The community services programme (CSP) is designed to address gaps in service delivery and disadvantage and to ensure that community facilities are utilised. The programme is funded by the Department with day-to-day management of contracts undertaken by Pobal. Contract holders must deliver tangible services that are capable of generating non-public revenues from their operations by way of charging fees, sales and/or fundraising and other public funds. Funding is provided on the basis of a contribution to the cost of a full-time position to support the delivery of the service and includes management and non-management positions. A business plan has been submitted by the organisation concerned and is currently being appraised by Pobal as to its fit and eligibility for funding under the CSP programme. The appraisal and decision making process is ongoing and a recommendation is expected within the next month. The organisation will be informed of the outcome of this process when completed.
