Image: Leon Farrell/PA Images FINANCE MINISTER PASCHAL Donohoe has said the Pandemic Unemployment Payment will continue beyond its original end date but that the level of the payment may change.

Both supports were implemented in mid-March and expire in the middle of next month. Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland programme, Donohoe said both would be continuing beyond this date “in some form”. The reason why we need to be careful about these payments is twofold. The first one is, they’re working. They’re working keeping people in a job, or if you have lost a job, they’re working in helping our citizens cope with a huge change in living standards that nobody was expecting. The second reason we have to take care with the future is because of their cost. They are costing many hundreds of millions of euros per week.

“They need to be extended. We’ve called for that at the very start. When we called for such a scheme, we said it should be at least 20 weeks and then monitored afterwards, Ibec I think do have also argued the same when they argued for such a scheme. A 12-week period isn’t simply enough as many businesses will be not back up,” Doherty said.
