Cutting seasonal workers' pandemic payments 'unfair' and 'wrong for the economy', says Pearse Doherty

Sinn Féin's finance spokesman, Pearse Doherty, has said that it is unfair to cut the Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) for part-time workers by 42%.

The payment for part-time workers is to be reduced from €350 to the Jobseeker's allowance rate of €203 per week
