Irish unemployment rate falls to 10.1 percent in February

DUBLIN, March 4 (Reuters) - The number of people claiming unemployment benefit in Ireland (Other OTC: IRLD - news) continued to fall in February, down to 10.1 percent from a revised 10.3 percent a month earlier, the central statistics office said on Wednesday.

Those claiming jobless benefits fell by 4,300 to a seasonally adjusted 355,600, down from 450,000 shortly before Ireland entered a three-year international bailout that it exited a year ago. (Reporting by Conor Humphries; Editing by Robin Pomeroy)
