The unemployment rate for July 2019 stands at 4.6% - a slight increase on last month, according to the Central Statistics Office.
While the seasonally-adjusted rate was up from 4.5% in June, it's much improved on this time last year when the rate was 5.8%.
This means that there are 25,900 less people unemployed in Ireland than July 2018.
