Vol. 240 No. 4

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kerry Insured Persons.

2.

asked the Taoiseach the number of insured persons in the following districts on the 31st December in the years 1957, 1964 and 1968; (a) County Kerry, (b) Killarney, (c) Tralee, (d) Kenmare, (e) Chairciveen, (f) Dingle, (g) Killorglin, (h) Castleisland and (i) Listowel.

It is not possible to state the number of insured persons in specific areas at a particular date. The numbers of insurance cards exchanged, which give an indication of the number of insured persons, are, however, available for each local employment office for the insurance years. It must be noted that changes in administrative procedures may, from year to year, involve variations in the numbers of cards exchanged at any particular office.

With your permission, Sir, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the number of insurance cards exchanged at each of the local employment offices situated in County Kerry in the insurance years specified. Castleisland is covered by the Tralee local office.

Following is the statement:—
