The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates for unemployment rates. Data from the QNHS are only available at the level of the eight NUTS3 regions. Details on the number of males and females aged under 25 in employment, in the labour force as well as the unemployment rate in each NUTS3 region for Quarter 4 2007 to Quarter 2 2009 are contained in Table 1.

The live register is not designed to measure unemployment but data from the live register are available at county and local office level. Table 2 contains monthly live register data for each county, while Table 3 gives corresponding information for local social welfare offices in Dublin for December 2007, December 2008 and January to October 2009.
