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 in receipt of social welfare payments living in a particular town at present. The following is a tabular statement detailing the number of recipients of working age on income supports and the number of recipients of working age on employment supports registered in the Loughrea Social Welfare Local office for January of each year from 2012 to 2014.
