I propose to take Questions Nos. 385 to 388, inclusive, together.

The total number of young persons under 25 years of age in receipt of jobseeker's allowance, jobseeker's benefit or claiming PRSI credits only at the end of May was 72,623. A detailed breakdown of this number by scheme and the durations specified by the Deputy is contained in the following tabular statement.
