Amharc ar fhreagraDáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2006
173 Mr. Morgan asked the Taoiseach the unemployment statistics and figures within County Donegal and especially within the Milford electoral area for the past ten years. [37401/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe exact information as requested by the Deputy is not available. Statistics on employment and unemployment are compiled, at a regional level, from the Quarterly National Household Survey. There are eight regions in the State; Border, Midland, West, Dublin, Mid-East, Mid-West, South-East and South-West. Sub-regional statistics, of the kind requested by the Deputy, are not available from the Quarterly National Household Survey.
However the Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Unemployment Assistance, Unemployment Benefit and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Figures are published for each county and each Local Social Welfare Office. A breakdown by postal district is not available. The most recent information available is for October 2006.
The Live Register figures for all the Local/Branch Offices in Co. Donegal for each month from 1997 to date are set out in the following table.
