The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Central Statistics Office has compiled a new series, for evaluation purposes, showing estimated flows to and from the Live Register. The series is based on an analysis by the CSO of administrative data from the Department of Social Protection. Only monthly figures have been compiled so far and the analysis of net flows to and from the Live Register over the course of a quarter or year has not been compiled. The net flow over a quarter or year is not the sum of the months. Monthly statistics for 2013 and for January 2014, the latest period available, are shown in the following table.

The series is for evaluation purposes only and, while every effort has been made to reconcile these figures with the official Live Register total, where any discrepancy may exist the official Live Register figures are considered the correct figures.
