    Abstract

    In this article, we assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on unemployment in Ireland and estimate how family incomes have changed as a result of increased unemployment, calibrated to administrative sources for end-August. We then show how the direct and indirect tax and welfare measures enacted prior to Budget 2021 have helped to cushion pandemic-related income losses. Lastly, we assess the impact of Budget 2021 measures.
