Question:

154 Deputy George Lee asked the Taoiseach the number of persons aged 15 to 24 years on the live register in the areas of Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council, Galway City Council, Galway County Council, Limerick City Council, Limerick County Council, Waterford City Council, Waterford County Council, Cork City Council and Cork County Council in September 2007 and September 2009 broken down by gender in each county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48486/09]

View answer

I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 and 154 together.

The basis of the area classification used in the collection of Live Register data is the Department of Social and Family Affairs local office of registration. The areas served by Local Employment Offices do not correspond to specific geographic boundaries. Therefore, registrants at a given local office do not necessarily come from a particular region or area which can be precisely delineated. For example, the figure for the Cork City Local Office of Registration refers to all persons signing on in the Cork city office but may include persons resident outside the boundaries of Cork City. Consequently data from the Live Register are not considered to provide an exact breakdown of claimants by local authority administrative areas.

The following table contains Live Register information for each local social welfare office in the counties and cities requested, with a breakdown by gender and the age group under 25 years. For that age group, it should be noted that the Live Register includes only those aged 17 years and over.
