The total number of persons in receipt of jobseekers allowance or jobseekers benefit in Local Offices in County Meath at the end of January 2013 was 9,121. The catchment area of these offices, particularly near the border of counties, may include addresses in neighbouring counties (e.g. Dublin), and as such those signing on at a Local Office in Meath may not be resident in the county. A detailed breakdown of this number by scheme, gender, age and Local Office is contained in the following tabular statement.
