asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state in respect of County Kildare the number of unemployed registered on the last convenient date and the normal industrial occupation of such persons so registered.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Kildare Unemployed.
The number of persons resident in County Kildare who were registered at local offices of my Department on Saturday, the 26th April, 1952, the latest date for which such information is available, was 437. Statistics by county of residence showing the occupations of persons registered are not compiled. Particulars are, however, available of the occupations of persons who were registered on 10th May, 1952, at the local offices of my Department situated in County Kildare. With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate a schedule of these particulars with the Official Report.
Following is the schedule:—
