So far as I am aware, unemployed persons attending at the branch employment office in Tullamore do not have to wait outside in wet weather during hours when the office it open. The public space in the office is sufficient for the number of people who attend there; there is also additional accommodation available in the fairly large hall leading into the office. I may add that neither the branch manager concerned nor my Department have received any complaints in this matter. If, however, the Deputy has received complaints I should be glad to have particulars of them and I will have them investigated.
