Most of the funding for section 39 and section 56 organisations comes through the HSE. The funding for some of the programmes that employ people did not necessarily come through the HSE and therefore they fell outside the agreement that was reached under the WRC. It is my understanding there are further discussions on that issue and every effort is being made to resolve it. It affects a small but important group and every effort will be made to find a solution to the problem.
