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 September 2006. The Live Register figures for Co. Clare and all the Local/Branch Offices in Co. Clare for September 2006 are set out in the table below.
