The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Figures are published for each county and each social welfare office. The most recent information is for January 2009.

The table contains the number of persons signing on in the Tallaght social welfare office on the last Friday in January 2009.

February 2009 Live Register data will be published at State level on Wednesday 4th March. The local social welfare office breakdown for February will be available on Friday 6th March.

It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance.
