Two sets of figures were released by the CSO this week. One shows a return to net emigration in Ireland: more people departed the country than arrived in the year to April. Another set, the latest Labour Force Survey, reveals 2.3 million people are now employed in the state, the highest ever figure. What lies behind the figures? Dominic Coyle asks Eoin Burke Kennedy. And Fiona Reddan has a story of a too-good-to-be-true investment opportunity that turned out to be just that. First, though, it's Peter Hamilton with a roundup of the latest business news including another dip in sterling, another Press Up investment and punishment for corporates implicated in the US opioid crisis.
