The information requested by the Deputy is collated annually at the 31st of December for inclusion in my Department’s Statistical Information on Social Welfare report which will be shortly be presented to the Oireachtas and will be available in the Dáil library.
It should be noted that the county level statistics indicate the number of people signing-on for payment at an office located in the county indicated. As the catchment area of many local offices cross county borders this data is not equivalent to the number of people residing in each county who are signing-on.
I have set out below for the Deputy’s convenience the information requested in a tabular statement.
