#SouthEast strong showing in Q4 2023 @csoirelandlabour force survey #LFS, record in work data: 232k (219 in Q4'22). Unemployment rate 4.3% (5.4% Q4'22) with 10k people unemployed. Much lower incomes still a big issue (see other CSO releases), but strong job quantity data.

@WaterfordNS Chart showing what health discrimination looks like! Bear in mind @UHW_Waterford has been the busiest hospital nationally for the past 4 months. A ‘kick in the teeth’ to those on the front line and those on waiting lists..@HSELive @wlrfm @Independent_ie @rtenews
