The total number of redundancies for each year from 2002-2006 is as follows:—
| Year | Total |
| 2002 | 24,432 |
| 2003 | 25,769 |
| 2004 | 25,041 |
| 2005 | 23,156 |
| 2006 | 23,684 |
Figures for actual redundancies are collected monthly and are not yet available for January of this year.
I propose to provide a statement in tabular form separately to the Deputy in relation to the sectoral breakdown requested.
