Vol. 138 No. 13

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Statistics.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state in respect of each of the local offices of his Department in Counties (a) Kildare, (b) Wicklow and (c) Cork, the number of persons registered as unemployed on the last Saturday in April, 1951, 1952 and 1953, respectively, and the occupations of the persons so registered at each such local office.

As the reply is in the form of tabular statements, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following are the statements:—

The Parliamentary Secretary does not want to give any more publicity than this to the figures?

It involved over 20 pages.

If you read out the 20 pages it might be worth while.

asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the number of persons registered as unemployed at employment exchanges in Cork on the 31st January, 1950, 1951, 1952 and 1953.

Statistical information concerning the numbers of persons on the live register are normally compiled in respect of each Saturday. Accordingly, the tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report, shows the number of persons registered at each local office in County Cork on Saturday, the 31st January, 1953, and on the last Saturday in January, 1950, 1951 and 1952.

Following is the statement:—
