Vol. 440 No. 4

Written Answers. - Unemployment Figures.

Trevor Sargent

Question:

83 Mr. Sargent asked the Taoiseach the unemployment figures for the towns of North County Dublin giving figures, percentages and other relevant information.

The following analyses of the Live Register are currently completed:

1. Live Register Count — Monthly (referring to the last Friday of the month).

2. Flow Analysis — Monthly (referring to the last Friday of the month).

3. Area Analysis — Monthly (referring to the last Friday of the month).

4. Age by Duration Analysis — Half, yearly (referring to the second last Fridays of April and October).

Balbriggan is the only town with a local office in North County Dublin.

As there is no requirement for persons on the Live Register to sign on at their local exchange, it is not possible to indicate the numbers of persons on the Live Register resident in each town. However, Table 1 gives the number of persons on the Live Register in Dublin on 25 February, 1994, classified by Local Office of Registration, Age Group and Sex.
Table 2 expresses the total for each category as a percentage of the total for the local office.
