asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state the number of persons in receipt of unemployment assistance at Enniscorthy, Wexford, New Ross and Gorey employment exchanges during each of the years 1946 to 1949.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Assistance in County Wexford.
The Deputy has not requested the particulars for any specific dates, but I trust it will meet his requirements if I furnish him with the latest figures available, together with the figures for the corresponding dates in 1946, 1947 and 1948. The information, therefore, required by the Deputy will be published in the Official Report.
Following is the information:—
