New analysis from PwC shows that for every 1% increase in unemployment in Ireland, an additional 250 insolvencies can be expected.
Ireland’s corporate insolvency landscape remained strikingly stable in Q1 2026, according to PwC’s latest Insolvency Barometer.
The Barometer points to 212 insolvencies recorded in the first quarter of this year. This is broadly in line with the recent quarterly average of approximately 205 since the start of 2023 and continues the trend of remarkably stable insolvency numbers over the past three years.
