Vol. 60 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Assistance Payments.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he will state the total number of persons in each local office area who were paid unemployment assistance during the week preceding the first Monday in October, November and December, 1935, and in January and February, 1936.

In regard to the figures required for the months of October, November and December, 1935, and January, 1936, I would refer the Deputy to the particulars circulated with the Official Reports in reply to questions asked by Deputy Mulcahy on 30th October, 1935, 10th December, 1935, and 5th February, 1936.

A return showing the total number of persons in each local office area who were paid unemployment assistance during the week preceding the first Monday in February, 1936, will be circulated with the Official Report.

The return is as follows:—

Total Number of Persons in each Local Office area who were Paid Unemployment Assistance during the week preceding 3rd February, 1936.
