Covid-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment
Dail Éireann — 2021-10-07
============================================================

John Lahart (FF), Dublin South-West

When we cast our minds back, we did not anticipate that we would have Covid vaccines until the end of this year. In fact, 90% of our population is now vaccinated. The Minister mentioned earlier that she expects the numbers in receipt of the PUP to fall below 100,000 for the first time next week. Will she update the House on the breakdown of the fall in the number of persons in receipt of the PUP, by county, since its peak in May last year?
