Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2714. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 48 of 14 May 2015, the number of childcare workers who signed on for jobseeker's payments each year for the past four years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [32697/19]
View answerThe numbers of persons who declared their employment category as childcare and related occupations who signed on to the live register for jobseeker's payments or for credits during June, July and August 2015-2018 - but were not on the live register in the previous month - are detailed in the following tabular statements.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
