Vol. 325 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Unemployment Figures.

asked the Taoiseach the number of unemployed in each of the IDA regions in each month from 1 January 1980 to date.

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the required information.

Following is the statement:

Is the Minister of State happy with the information in that tabular statement?

Yes. The answer is comprehensive.

I am not questioning its comprehensiveness.

The Minister of State is learning fast.

The unemployment figures are comprehensive, too.
