The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collated by my Department. I am, however, informed that at the end of April 2013 there were 43,375 persons currently in receipt of jobseeker's allowance that have not, to date, made any PRSI contribution. A tabular statement breaking this number down by age and administrative area is set out below.

Jobseeker’s Assistance recipients at 27 April 2013 who have never, made any contribution to the PRSI system.
