(Dún Laoghaire): The areas served by individual local employment offices are not prescribed in terms of specific geographically defined areas. It is not possible, therefore, to allocate persons on the live register to the Dún Laoghaire constituency. However, I propose to circulate a statement giving the details requested in respect of persons on the live register at Dún Laoghaire employment exchange.
Following is the Statement.
The number of persons on the live register at Dún Laoghaire employment exchange on the last Friday of each month, January 1983 to March 1985, is shown in the following table:
