Vol. 473 No. 2

Written Answers. - Unemployment Levels.

John O'Donoghue

Question:

23 Mr. O'Donoghue asked the Taoiseach the number of people who signed on and off the unemployment register on a county by county basis in each month during 1996; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24867/96]

The information requested by the Deputy, which is a lot more detailed than that normally published by the CSO, is set out in the following tables. It should be noted that the county in which a person registers at a local office of the Department of Social Welfare is not necessarily the county in which that person resides.
