Information relating to a claimant’s address is not currently coded to the geographical location of the address. As such it is not possible to accurately report persons on the live register living in a particular area at present.

The towns of Clane and Dunboyne are in the catchment area of the Maynooth Social Welfare Branch Office while Lusk is in the catchment area of the Balbriggan Social Welfare Local Office. Following, for the Deputy’s information, is a tabular statement detailing the live register for each of these offices in the last week of December in each of the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
