Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Limerick Unemployed.

4.

andMr. Carew asked the Taoiseach if he will state the numbers registered as unemployed at the nearest date at the exchanges in Limerick, Kilmallock and Newcastle West, distinguishing between the various categories.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the latest available information, which relates to the 21st February, 1959.

Following is the statement:—
