Approximately 250,000 people aged under 25 are unemployed,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Small and Medium Enterprises (14 Jul 2020)

Cormac Devlin: Yes. It is important there is a balance between the two. I wish to reiterate and focus on the fact that it is estimated that 2.1 million people will return to work.

That 90% has presented and, I have no doubt, will present challenges over the coming months, but the 10% who are expected not to return to work must...
