More people ended their claim for the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) this week than in any week previously this year, as the retail sector reopened and people returned to work.
Positivity
Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys says: Over the past fortnight, the number of people in receipt of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment has fallen by about 50,000. The figures that I am publishing today include the largest number of people to close their claim in a single week since the year began. We are also seeing reductions in the number of people receiving the PUP in every county and across all occupations. These are all really positive signs and reflect the impact of sectors such as retail re-opening in full. In relation to the PUP, we have now spent over €7.7 billion, supporting over 860,000 people.
