This was down from 4.6 per cent in February last year and suggests conditions in the labour market remain tight. Central Statistics Office data, published on Wednesday, indicated there were 116,500 people classified as unemployed last month compared with 118,100 in January. The CSO said there was a decrease of 5,700 in the seasonally adjusted number of unemployed people in February when compared with a year earlier.
