Ireland's unemployment rate has dropped below 10 per cent for the first time since the economic crash.
Figures released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) indicate that the rate now stands at 9.9 per cent, the lowest it's been since January 2009.
The employment figures reveal that nearly 2 million people are currently working in Ireland, rising steadily by 41,300 year-on-year.
In an interview with George Hook, the Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said the figures confirm that the government's jobs strategy is working.
“I think it also gives us confidence that as we set ourselves a target of getting everyone back to work, in terms of full employment on a sustainable basis, that we have the capacity to do this.”
Speaking about the increase in employment, Minister Bruton said it's “contributing into the exchequer so we can do things new things in public services and relief on the tax front. This is a virtuous circle that we need to build upon.”
The Central Statistics Office's report discloses that in the first three months of 2015, full-time employment has increased by 3.6 per cent, part-time employment rates dropped to 2.4 per cent, while long-term unemployment figures fell from  7.3 per cent  to 5.9 per cent.
 
 

New figures published by The Central Statistics Office reveal that Irish exports have risen by 21% since this time last year.
The rise in exports is the highest figure in thirteen years. The value has now grown to over €9 billion, a peak that hasn't been reached since May 2002.
A combination of a weak Euro and the pharmaceutical industry's expanding growth, are key reasons for the upsurge in Irish exports for the first three months of the year.
The drivers of exports were pharmaceutical and medical products accounting for €1 billion or 58% increase, and exports of Organic chemicals increased by €298 million or 18%.
The upsurge in pharmaceutical sales isn't a surprise, 9 of the 10 biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world are based in Ireland, making it the  largest net exporter of pharmaceuticals in the EU.
The European Union accounted for over €5 billion or 56% of total exports, making it Ireland's most popular region to export to. 13% of those exports were delivered to the United Kingdom.
America accounted for €2.1 billion or 23% of total exports, followed by Switzerland, China, and Japan.
Speaking about the figures, Philip O’Sullivan, an Investec economist said: “With chemicals and related products accounting for roughly three-fifths of Irish merchandise exports, developments in that sector can significantly distort the headline trade statistics.”
“The underlying narrative is one of broad based growth in exports, propelled by favourable currency moves and the improved economic performance of a number of Ireland’s key trading partners.”
“Elsewhere, the upturn in investment and personal consumption here has led to an increased appetite for imports. We expect to see more of the same in the months ahead.”
