Another 200,000 people set to lose their jobs in Ireland over the coming days

Another 200,000 people will lose their jobs in Ireland in the coming days because of coronavirus.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions says that's on top of the 140,000 workers who've already been laid off.

The group says this is nearly as bad as the total number of jobs lost in the first two and a half years of the economic crash.

ICTU is calling on the government to take further measures to address the situation.
