I would not agree with the Deputy's first statement. I do not agree that the figures are being doctored. As the Deputy has just proved, by asking the question, the figures can be obtained every month simply by adding (a), (b) and (c) together. I might point out, as was indicated in the reply to which the Deputy referred on 3 June — I think it was Deputy De Rossa who asked that question also in relation to a report of the task force on employment — that the statistical review was carried out by an expert group established under the aegis of the central review committee of the Programme for Economic and Social Progress. The group is representative of the Departments of the Taoiseach, Finance, Social Welfare, Industry and Commerce and Labour, the Central Statistics Office, the Federation of Irish Employers, the Confederation of Irish Industry and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. The group recommended that the statistical treatment of persons on week-on/week-off working arrangements and self-employed persons formerly on the register should be regularised. In reaching their recommendations the expert group had regard to the internationally accepted principles of the measurement of unemployment. I might add that the group's recommendations were endorsed by the task force.
