The Live Register is compiled from returns made for each local office to the Central Statistics Office by the Department of Social Protection (DSP).
It comprises of persons under 65 years of age in the following classes:
All claimants for Jobseekers’ Benefit (JB) excluding systematic short-time workers;
Applicants for Jobseekers’ Allowance excluding smallholders/farm assists and other self-employed persons;
Other registrants including applicants for credited Social Welfare contributions but excluding those directly involved in an industrial dispute.
The most recent Live Register figures available are for January 2021.
The basis of the area analysis in Live Register statistics is the DSP local office of registration. The areas served by Local Employment Offices do not correspond to specific geographic boundaries. Therefore, registrants at a given local office do not necessarily come from a particular region or area which can be precisely delineated e.g. data for the County Dublin Local Offices of Registration refers to all persons signing on in County Dublin but may include persons not resident in County Dublin.
The table below shows the number of persons aged under 25 years on the Live Register in County Dublin classified by local office for January 2021. There are two local offices located in Dublin Bay North, i.e. Coolock and Kilbarrack, but, as outlined above, some individuals included on the Live Register may reside in Dublin Bay North but be counted under an office outside the area while some individuals assigned to offices within the Dublin Bay North region may live outside the region. For this reason we have included the two offices located in Dublin Bay North at the top of the table below followed by the other Dublin local offices in alphabetical order along with a total for all Dublin local offices.
