I propose to take Questions Nos. 871 and 872 together.

In the week ending 1st November 2020, some 174,049 people received a Pandemic Unemployment Payment of €300 or more.

Of these, 122,193 people had earnings of over €400 per week, and received a payment of €350, while 51,856 people had earnings between €300 and €399 per week, and continued to receive a payment of €300.

The breakdown of the recipients of the pandemic unemployment payment by payment rate are published on my Departments website every week.
