The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseekers Benefit, Jobseekers Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Figures are published for each county and local social welfare office.

The most recent Live Register figures available are for January 2010. The table below contains the numbers signing on in Tallaght local office on the last Friday of January 2010. The live register for February will be published on March 3rd with detailed tables published on March 5th.

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 Jobseekers Benefit or Allowance.
