I propose to take Questions Nos. 45 and 46 together.

The information requested by the Deputy is not collated by my Department by local authority area. I am however informed that at the end of August there were 36,178 citizens signing for credits but who are not in receipt of a social welfare payment.

A breakdown of this number by Social Welfare Office is detailed in the attached tabular statement for the Deputy’s information.
