The information asked for in respect of home assistance is not available in my Department.
As the reply to the remainder of the question is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
The number of persons paid unemployment benefit and unemployment assistance at the Clonmel employment exchange, including those listed at that office for such payments at Post Offices in the week ending the last Saturday of January in each of the years 1959-1963.
