Paschal Donohoe said : "Looking forward, a further contraction of the domestic economy is expected in the fourth quarter due to Level 5 restrictions. Numbers on the pandemic unemployment payment rose by around 105,000 to roughly 350,000 during this period however this remains well below the peak of 600,000 seen in May. Overall I am optimistic that the economic fall-out from the recent restrictions will not be as severe as in the previous lockdown, as construction, education, childcare and most manufacturing remained open this time. Indeed we saw a modest decline in numbers on the pandemic payment this week, the first weekly reduction since early October and I expect significant declines in the weeks ahead," "The policy response throughout the Covid-19 crisis has been swift and forceful. The Government has acted to cushion, in as much as possible, the contraction in private sector demand. Measures to support the economy have looked to protect household incomes and to help firms to re-open and to bridge-the-gap for those still affected by restrictions. This policy response is possible as a result of the careful management of the economy and the public finances in recent years which means that we entered this period of uncertainty from a position of strength. The Government's longer-term plan for economic recovery will be set out in the forthcoming National Economic Plan"

Paschal Donohoe said : "However it is important to put these numbers in context. While GDP is up in annual terms, it is not an accurate measure of what is going on in the economy, given the size of the multinational sector. Domestic demand, along with most other domestic indicators are still down in annual terms following sharp contractions earlier in the year. “These numbers very much highlight the dual economic impact of the pandemic, with net exports making a significant positive contribution to GDP in year-on-year terms on the back of robust growth in pharma exports, while the domestic economy still lags in annual terms having suffered a severe hit in the second quarter,"
