Live Register Figures by detailed age group for all months from October 2009 to May 2017 are accessible from the CSO Statbank on the CSO Website, (available at https://cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?maintable=LRM11&PLanguage=0 ).
At the end of May 2018, there were 223,502 people on the Live Register. This is less than half the number of people signing on the Live Register at the crisis peak in mid-2012. While this reduction in Live Register numbers has been especially large for younger people, people of every age have benefitted from the economic recovery, so that numbers on the Live Register are lower now than at the crisis peak for every age group.
