The exact information as requested by the Deputy is not available as there is currently no Department of Social and Family Affairs Local/Branch Office in Shannon, Co. Clare. The Live Register figures for all the Local/Branch Offices in Co. Clare for each month from 2004 to date are set out in the table below.

The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Unemployment Assistance, Unemployment Benefit and other claimants 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 August 2006. It should be noted that:

(a) the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, seasonal and casual workers entitled to Unemployment Assistance or Benefit. Statistics on unemployment are measured at regional level by the Quarterly National Household Survey.

(b) the exact area covered by each Local Office is not limited to the immediate locality of the particular office. For instance, in the Tallaght Local Office there may be registered, persons from the Blessington area.
