Vol. 433 No. 1

Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - County Limerick Live Register Statistics.

Michael Finucane

Ceist:

7 Mr. Finucane asked the Taoiseach the number of persons on the live register for each employment exchange in County Limerick on 1 June in each of the years 1991, 1992 and 1993; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following statement which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.

Number of Persons on the Live Register in Employment Exchanges in County Limerick on the last Friday of May 1991, 1992 and 1993.

31 May 1991

29 May 1992

28 May 1993

Kilmallock

1,384

1,502

1,597

Limerick

8,428

9,235

9,761

Newcastlewest

2,157

2,171

2,056

Total County Limerick

11,969

12,908

13,414

Note: There is a discontinuity in the series because of revised statistical coverage from May 1992.

To what does the Minister attribute the increase in the level of unemployment in those areas? Is emigration a factor?

The Deputy will appreciate that his question is a statistical one and matters of policy do not arise now.
