More than 1.36 million people had received one or more of the Government COVID-19 income supports by mid-2021.
The CSO has released the findings of a study on the impact of Covid19 on Ireland.
It found in quarter two of this year, 17 per cent of all active employments were directly supported by the Employment Wage Subsidy Scheme, but this was as high as 76 per cent for the hospitality and food services sector.
The rate of unemployment peaked at 31.5 per cent in April 2020 before falling back to just under 16 per cent in September 2020.
The reintroduction of restrictions in the new year saw it rise again to more than 27 per cent in January 2021, while the easing of restrictions over the course of this year has seen the rate fall back to 12-point-4 per cent in August 2021.
