asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the number of persons registered as unemployed at (a) Athy; (b) Kildare; (c) Maynooth, and (d) Droichead Nua branch employment offices for any convenient date in November, 1949, and the corresponding date in each of the years 1938 to 1948.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Registered Unemployed in County Kildare.
As the reply to the Deputy's question is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
