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. The exact information as requested by the Deputy is not available as there is no Local Office in Ballyhaunis. The most recent information available is for September 2006 and the table below indicates the number of persons on the register in each of the Local Offices in County Mayo.
