Question:

208. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if she will provide in tabular form divided by county, the number of recipients of employment supports in each county at the end of August 2015 or the most recent date available. [31283/15]

Written answers

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.

County

Community Employment

Rural Social Scheme

Tús

Back To Work Allowance Self-employed

Back to Work Allowance Employee

JobBridge

Back to Education Allowance

Partial Capacity Benefit

Short-Term Enterprise Allowance

Part-Time Job Incentive
