Vol. 433 No. 1
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.

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.
