NOTE: The figures for Minor Employment Schemes relate only to the counties in which such schemes are carried out viz: Cavan, Clare, Cork (West), Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo. They include applications for Bog Development Schemes in these counties, as both Schemes are interconnected and are not recorded separately.
