I propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 82 together.
The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social Protection.
The table contains Live Register information for persons aged under 25 years, 25 years and over and total persons in each county in December 2009.
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 Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance. It should also be noted that the Live Register includes only those aged 17 years and over.
Persons on the Live Register in December 2009, by gender, age and county.
