Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 March 2017
320. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection the number of recipients of jobseeker's allowance in County Kerry at 31 January in each of the years 2004 to 2011, by age, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11581/17]
View answerDue to changes in data systems in the Department, this level of breakdown is not available before 2012. However, the Central Statistics Office publishes a breakdown of the live register by age and county on its website monthly. I have collated, for the Deputy’s convenience and information, the number of persons who were under 25 and those who were over 25 in Kerry that were recorded as being on the live register at the end of January in each of the years 2004 to 2011. This information is detailed in the following tabular statement. An official from my office recently sent an email detailing some other figures that will be of interest to you. Please don’t hesitate to contact him about this email.
