Its a reduction of 6,000 recipients on last week.
Over 157,000 people will receive the Pandemic Unemployment Payment today.
That's down from around 163,000 last week.
The weekly payment is valued at €46.7 million.
The greatest reduction this week is in the Accommodation and Food Services sector, while the county with the highest number of people receiving the PUP is Dublin, followed by Cork and Galway.
People are being reminded the payment will be gradually reduced over a six month period until February 2022 to align it with the standard jobseekers payments, starting from September.
