Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dún Laoghaire Unemployed.

1.

asked the Taoiseach if he will give the numbers out of work in the Dún Laoghaire area up to the most recently published figures with a breakdown in the categories out of work.

Dún Laoghaire): I propose to circulate a statement showing the number of persons on the live register at Dún Laoghaire employment exchange on 3 January 1986 the latest date for which information is available, categorised by sex and type of claim and showing separately persons under 25 years of age. I also propose to circulate a statement showing the results of the occupational analysis of the live register for persons registered at the Dún Laoghaire employment exchange on 27 September 1985, the latest date for which such information is available.

Following are the statements: The following table shows a breakdown of the persons on the live register on 3 January 1986 at Dún Laoghaire classified by sex and type of claim and showing separately persons under 25 years of age.
