The total number of persons in receipt of farm assist in Local Offices in County Kerry at the end of December 2012 was 818. The catchment area of these offices, particularly near the border of counties, may include addresses in neighbouring counties (e.g. Cork), and as such those signing on at a Local Office in Kerry may not be resident in the county. A detailed breakdown of this number by Local Office is contained in the following tabular statement.
Office | Recipients |
---|---|
CAHIRCIVEEN | 130 |
DINGLE | 47 |
KENMARE | 103 |
KILLARNEY | 60 |
KILLORGLIN | 134 |
LISTOWEL | 182 |
TRALEE | 162 |
Total | 818 |
