The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates relating to the labour force. The CSO advises that the most detailed age groups for which estimates can be provided at NUTS 3 regional level are ten-year age groupings. Estimates of the number of persons broken down by labour force status along with unemployment and participation rates are presented by gender, ten-year age group and NUTS 3 Region for quarter 3 2007 and quarter 4 2009 in the tables following.

Figures marked with a * refer to estimates of below 1,000 persons. Such estimates are considered to be unreliable and as such are not presented.

Data may be subject to future revision.

Data may be subject to sampling or other survey errors, which are greater in respect of smaller values or estimates of change.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 95 and 96 together.

The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseekers Benefit, Jobseekers Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Figures are published for each county and local social welfare office. The following table contains monthly Live Register information for persons aged under 25, 25 years and over and total persons in each county in September 2007 and December 2007. It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseekers Benefit or Allowance. It should also be noted that the Live Register includes only those aged 17 years and over.
