Vol. 410 No. 1
40 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he will outline the working assumption about the average level of unemployment for 1991 now in use for budgetary purposes in the light of the Taoiseach's statement in Dáil Éireann on Tuesday, 11 June 1991 on this matter.
I have already indicated to this House, on 25 April last, that, this year, I may have to provide for a somewhat higher average live register figure, perhaps 10,000 to 12,000 more, than provided for in the budget. The matter, of course, remains under continuing review in the light of developments on employment and migration. The Department's updated assessment will be published in Economic Review and Outlook in due course.
