View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 134 to 141, inclusive, together.
The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment, unemployment and the labour force in the State. Estimates of unemployment are produced by NUTS3 Region. The South-West NUTS3 region comprises of Cork City, County Cork and County Kerry. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable estimates from the QNHS at County level. The latest figures available from the QNHS are for Quarter 3 of 2014.
The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social Protection. It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance.
Table 1 shows the number of persons on the Live Register in County Kerry classified by age and duration of continuous registration in April of each year from 2008 to 2014. This breakdown is not currently available prior to April 2008.
Table 2 shows the number of persons on the Live Register in County Kerry classified by age in October of each year from 2004 to 2014.
Table 3 shows the number of persons aged 15 years and over classified by South West NUTS 3 region and ILO Economic Status in Quarter 3 of each year from 2004 to 2014.
