John Browne
Ceist:128 Mr. Browne (Carlow-Kilkenny) asked the Taoiseach the latest figures on the numbers of long-term unemployed on the islands; the population of each in 1980; the number of inhabited islands; and the population of each in 2001. [16633/01]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 127 and 128 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following table. The data are taken from the 1981 and 1996 Census of Population. Information on the number of persons who are long-term unemployed is only available for 1996. The relevant details have not been provided in the case of certain islands where to do so would have risked disclosure of identifiable individuals.
