Vol. 275 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Live Register Numbers.

2.

asked the Taoiseach the numbers on the live register at Enniscorthy, Wexford, New Ross and Gorey employment exchanges at the most recent date in 1974 and for the corresponding dates in 1973 and 1972; and if he will give similar details for the urban areas mentioned.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the required information.

Following is the statement:
