The Pandemic Unemployment Payment is set to be cut considerably later this year.
Government leaders are meeting on Tuesday to finalise their plans for phasing out the social welfare support which is currently claimed by over 300,000 people.
It will come with the promise that there will be “no cliff edge”, but over a number of months it will nearly be halved from €350 down to the regular unemployment rate of just over €200.
