I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 to 91, 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 and unemployment in the State. The most recent figures available are for Q3 2015.

Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable Tipperary County estimates from the QNHS.

Estimates of employment, unemployment and statistics on jobless households are produced from the QNHS by NUTS 3 Regions.

The NUTS 3 Mid-West region includes Clare, Limerick City, Limerick County, and North Tipperary. The NUTS 3 South-East region includes Carlow, Kilkenny, South Tipperary, Waterford City, Waterford County and Wexford.

Table 1 below shows the long-term unemployment rate of persons aged 15 to 74 years classified by the NUTS 3 Mid-West and South-East regions in Q3 of each year from 2011 to 2015.

Table 2 below shows the employment rate (ILO) of persons aged 15 to 64 years classified by the NUTS 3 Mid-West and South-East regions in Q3 of each year from 2011 to 2015.

Table 3 below shows the percentage of persons aged 0 to 17 years living in jobless households classified by the NUTS 3 Mid-West and South-East regions in Q3 of each year from 2011 to 2015.

Table 4 below shows the percentage of persons aged 18 to 59 years living in jobless households classified by the NUTS 3 Mid-West and South-East regions in Q3 of each year from 2011 to 2015.
